Use of Real-Time Interactive Cloud-Based Workshops in Training for Trauma Nurses

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Trauma Care
• Digital Health

Background:

• Effective trauma care for nurses is crucial.
• Traditional offline workshops have limitations.
• Online training models are evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

• To compare the effectiveness and participant satisfaction of real-time interactive cloud-based workshops versus traditional offline workshops for trauma nurses.
• To evaluate the impact of different training modalities on learning outcomes and participant engagement.

Main Methods:

• A study involving 276 trauma nurses from tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province.
• Participants were divided into two groups: real-time interactive cloud-based workshop (n=144) and traditional offline workshop (n=132).
• Comparison of training effectiveness and participant satisfaction between the two groups.

Main Results:

• No significant differences were found in demographic characteristics, theoretical and practical scores, core competences, teaching atmosphere, learning efficiency, and overall satisfaction (p > .05).
• Nurses in the real-time interactive cloud-based workshop group reported higher satisfaction with the teaching format and design (p < .01).

Conclusions:

• Real-time interactive cloud-based workshops are equivalent in teaching effectiveness and recognition to traditional offline workshops.
• The online format successfully sparked interest and created a new learning atmosphere, enhancing participant engagement.
