A Massive Open Online Course Delivered Just-in-Time: A Cohort Study
Just-in-time education effectively improved nurses' knowledge during health crises. This online intervention upskilled subacute nurses, demonstrating significant gains for registered and enrolled nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Crisis Preparedness
- Online Learning
Background:
- Just-in-time education is crucial for enhancing knowledge during health crises.
- Subacute nurses require specialized training for effective crisis response.
- Assessing the impact of targeted educational interventions is vital for healthcare systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative online education intervention.
- To determine if nurses' knowledge improved after the intervention.
- To upskill subacute nurses in preparation for health crises.
Main Methods:
- Development of an online education intervention by university nursing academics.
- Collaboration with a government health department and clinical nurses for support and promotion.
- Quantitative analysis of pretest/post-test knowledge survey data using independent samples and paired t-tests.
Main Results:
- Statistically significant improvements in nurses' knowledge were observed.
- Mean knowledge improvement for registered nurses was 1.90 (SD = 2.54).
- Mean knowledge improvement for enrolled nurses was 2.93 (SD = 2.43), with a mean difference of 1.03 (95% CI [0.04, 2.03]).
Conclusions:
- The online education intervention proved highly effective during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Delivering just-in-time education significantly enhances nurses' knowledge.
- Upskilling subacute nurses through online education is a viable strategy for health crisis preparedness.
