This study shows that interactive tele-education effectively improved nurses' knowledge in children's hearing health. The training program significantly enhanced performance across all assessed areas, demonstrating its value.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pediatric Audiology
- Telehealth
Background:
- Nurses require specialized knowledge in children's hearing health.
- Existing training methods may not be sufficient or accessible.
- Tele-education offers a potential solution for accessible and effective training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing training program focused on children's hearing health.
- To assess the utility of interactive tele-education in delivering this training.
- To measure improvements in nurses' performance after the training.
Main Methods:
- An interrupted time series design with a non-random control group and pre-test/post-test was utilized.
- A cohort of 41 nurses with no prior formal hearing health training participated.
- A "Children's Hearing Health" Cybertutor served as the interactive tele-education tool.
Main Results:
- Nurses demonstrated significantly improved performance in all assessed domains and overall score post-training.
- The Cybertutor was well-received by participants, indicating high acceptance.
- Pre-training performance highlighted a clear need for dedicated children's hearing health education.
Conclusions:
- The nursing training program utilizing interactive tele-education proved effective in enhancing nurses' competence in children's hearing health.
- Significant performance improvements across all evaluated areas confirm the program's success.
- Tele-education is a viable and effective modality for specialized nursing training in pediatric audiology.
