Methods: A quantitative study with a questionnaire, albeit with some qualitative questions, was chosen to create measurable data between two rounds of the questionnaire. Results: An increase of correct answers within most factual wound categories was observed after the e-learning, although in some sub-questions a ceiling effect was seen, which meant that even before the e-learning, the correct response percentages were already above 90. In terms of the staff's own perception of their wound care skills, far more felt after the e-learning that they had "some degree" of knowledge, confidence and competence in wound care. In the two surveys, only 16 respondents responded to both surveys, as new and inexperienced staff members joined the ward in-between. Despite of this limitation, the authors chose to compare all respondents anyway. If the numbers from the first measurement to the next improved, e.g. on factual questions, despite a whole range of new and inexperienced employees, then part of it should, with caution, be attributable to e-learning. Conclusion: E-learning can provide good basic knowledge to a broad group of staff, but it cannot stand alone. Follow-up must be carried out and blended learning must be used.
