Aim:
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the collaborative teaching of a multi- disciplinary team on the introductory online radiology session for the Master of Nursing students.
Background:
The teaching method for basic radiology reading for the Master of Nursing program was delivered via a 4-hour didactic face-to-face lesson and was ineffective as evidenced by the students' feedback and evaluation. Therefore, a multi-disciplinary team consisting of nursing, medical and radiology staff developed a 4-week online radiology session to enhance knowledge, attitudes and confidence of the Master of Nursing students in interpreting basic chest radiographs, abdominal radiographs and computed tomographic brain scans.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental study design using pre-test and post-test was adopted. The effectiveness of the online radiology session was evaluated on the students' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Forty Master of Nursing program students completed the pre-test and post-test questionnaires (response rate 74%) and responded to the open-ended questions in the post-test. IBM-SPSS was used to analyse the quantitative data and quantifying qualitative data technique was used to analyse the qualitative data.
Results:
The participants demonstrated an improvement in knowledge and confidence mean scores of the post-test compared to pre-test. There was improved self-rated proficiency in reading and interpreting a film radiograph but no difference in the way they perceived the importance of radiological investigations vis-à-vis the physical examination and routine laboratory testing. Quantifying quantitative data technique showed that majority of participants appreciated the learning process as it could be done at their own pace and the lectures could be replayed again. However, participants hoped for improved interaction with the tutor during learning and the use of real-life cases in the scenarios.
Conclusion:
Collaborative teaching using an online radiology session shows promise over a traditional didactic method of teaching but requires further refinement in terms of participant interaction and the use of case examples.
