Introduction:
This study focuses on developing and validating an e-learning educational program for nurturing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nursing specialists.
Methods:
The program was developed using the attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction models within the instructional design framework. The program validation encompassed four steps: (1) nurses took a basic IBD knowledge test (pretest), (2) participants scoring <80% were encouraged to undergo web-based training, (3) a follow-up test (posttest) gauged post-training improvement, and (4) participant satisfaction with e-learning was assessed.
Results:
The analysis included 63 participants. The average score in the pretest was 81.3%, 40 participants exceeded the pretest passing score, which is 80% (average: 88.3%), and 23 participants failed (average: 69.1%). Of those who failed, 19 participants showed improvement after undergoing web-based training, with their posttest scores exceeding the passing threshold (average: 97.4%). The comparison results between the passing and failing groups revealed no correlation between the baseline characteristics of the participants. The participants were highly satisfied with the e-learning program.
Conclusion:
The program was effective as an educational program for acquiring basic knowledge to foster IBD nursing professionals. The learning design was adapted to the participants' lifestyles and tailored to the readiness of the nurse, ensuring a satisfactory e-learning user experience for the nurses.
