E-LEARNING TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND SAFETY: MOODLE PLATFORM FOR PAEDIATRIC ICU NURSING TRAINING
Abstract
Background
Both high specialty and complexity of care require a nursing staff highly qualified and continuously up-to-date. Clinical knowledge as well as policies and hospital procedures are more important than ever to guarantee quality and safety to patients. For this reason, many efforts should be done to offer equal opportunity training for the staff, to control quality in staff education and to monitor and evaluate levels of knowledge. E-learning technologies should offer this kind of opportunities.
Objectives
The main objective was to evaluate the opportunity to use on-line learning to support training and to monitor staff level of knowledge.
Methods
Moodle platform was used to offer ICU nurses a course about hospital procedures with short video-lessons and a final test. Anonymous on-line questionnaire was administered to nurses to evaluate the platform.
Results
Forty-one ICU nurses were involved (mean-age 34.12 years, SD±7.71), 37% males and 63 % females; 17% of the sample has already heard of Moodle platform and only 5% used it before but in academic context. Nurses’ satisfaction was generally high, about 9/10. In particular, Moodle was evaluated more than 8.50/10 as an easy tool to use both to manage educational materials and to organize an individual training. Both video-lessons (8/10) and final quiz (8.50/10) were positively evaluated as very useful.
Conclusion
Moodle experience was generally positive. It was only the first step to introduce e learning into the daily nursing practice but the positive feedback encourage exploring Moodle potentiality in order to support training and its quality.
