Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of an e-learning activity regarding research methodology and fragility fractures in a sample of nurses. Moreover, we investigated the impact of demographic characteristics on knowledge level of nurses. Methods: We conducted a before-after study with a convenience sample of nurses working in different clinical settings. We conducted an e-learning activity regarding research methodology and fragility fractures. We developed 10 questions to assess the knowledge level of nurses before and after the e-learning activity. We created an online form of the questionnaire with Google forms. Our nurses completed the study questionnaire before and after the e-learning activity to assess differences in their knowledge. Additionally, we measured overall evaluation, material evaluation, and educators' evaluation in a scale from 0 to 10 with higher values indicating higher levels of evaluation. Results: Study population included 93 nurses. Among our sample, 86% (n=80) were females and 14% (n=13) were males. Mean age of nurses was 37.1 years, while mean years of experience was 13.6. Percentage of correct answers was improved after the e-learning activity for all questions. Moreover, we found a statistically significant improvement in eight questions (p<0.05) and a marginal statistically significant improvement in two questions (p<0.10). Mean knowledge score before the e-learning activity was 5.5, while after the e-learning activity improved to 7.6 (p<0.001). Conclusions: Effectiveness of the e-learning activity was very high, since nurses improved their knowledge in all fields. Continuous education is essential for nurses to improve their knowledge and thus provide high quality of healthcare especially in fragility fracture patients. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
