Aims And Objectives:
To evaluate: (a) the effectiveness of an infographic poster compared with an e-learning program on general practice nurses' knowledge about chronic kidney disease risk factors and best practice screening procedures and (b) the effectiveness of an infographic poster compared with an e-learning program on general practice nurses' learning time and learning efficiency.
Background:
The screening and early detection of chronic kidney disease is essential in reducing its burden on the health system and those affected by it. General practice nurses are well-positioned to assist in its early detection.
Design:
Parallel-group, single-blinded, pre-post interventional randomised control design.
Method:
This study was reported in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Participants were registered or enrolled nurses working in general practice settings across Australia. The intervention group (n = 173) received an infographic poster about chronic kidney disease risk factors and best practice screening procedures, whereas the control group (n = 170) received an interactive e-learning program. Data were collected using an 8-item pre-post knowledge evaluation instrument. Time spent learning were collected through a self-reported log and a login/logout method.
Results:
The overall intervention effect demonstrated no statistical significance in knowledge scores from the baseline scores between the intervention and control group. The intervention group demonstrated higher learning efficiency in comparison to the control group.
Conclusion:
The study demonstrated an infographic poster is as effective as an e-learning program on improving knowledge scores. However, in comparison to an e-learning program, an infographic poster is a more efficient way of learning.
Relevance To Clinical Practice:
Infographic posters can be an efficient educational modality to enhance healthcare professionals' knowledge and could be used as public health campaigns in clinical settings to educate the community.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
