Summary

Objectives: To verify the effectiveness of a blended course in PC to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines.

Design: randomized community trial, by clusters (control group -CG- / intervention group -IG-) Scope: 20 PCT (primary care teams)(10 per group) Outcome variables will be: Diagnostic records (proportion of nonspecific diagnoses such as dizziness and vertigo, with respect to specific diagnoses such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis); Derivations to otorhinolaryngologist (ENT) and neurologist; Prescription of antivertiginous medications and Number of days off work caused by vertigo-related.

Statistical analysis:Descriptive statistics of all the baseline variables will be carried out and, the differences between groups in the post-intervention outcome variables will be evaluated through the t-test. In the IG, a multivariate logistic regression model will identify response patterns based on the baseline variables of professionals and centers

Interventions

OTHER

Training on vertigo

Online training on vertigo management in primary care with a face-to-face session. On the one hand, the course will contain theoretical content and clinical cases will be used as the methodology of the course, with feedback paths for each correct or incorrect answer from the students and videos recorded expressly for the course. In addition, there will be a face-to-face session where all participants must perform the diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers proposed in the course, to evaluate the use of the training and also to standardize the way of doing them for the study
