Summary

Background: Practice guidelines require emergency and critical care nurses (ECC) to be skillful in ECG and cardiac monitoring. Evidence suggests that nurses' proficiency is still inadequate with this regard. Computer interpretation of the ECG (CIE) is accurate and improves clinicians' accuracy in ECG interpretation. Unfortunately, nurses are not taught or trained to use this technology. Through this study the investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of three educational interventions to improve ECC nurses' proficiency in CIE.

Methods. The investigators applied a randomized mixed, crossover and parallel, design. Linear mixed model analysis was used to examine differences in CIE test score among groups and across time. There were three interventional groups (G0, no intervention then flyer; G1, face-to-face then online; and G2, online then face-to-face) with three points of time measurement (T0, baselines; T1, after first intervention, and T2 after second intervention).

Conditions

  • Proficiency in Computer Interpretation of the ECG

Interventions

OTHER

Flyer

the flyer was a small, palm-sized, crafted from fine-quality material, thoughtfully designed to be colorful, visually inviting, and easy going, featuring carefully selected introductory images, ample whitespace, and minimal text to ensure clarity, quick engagement, and polished first impression.

OTHER

face-to-face lecture

the face-to-face content included audiovisual aids, case scenarios, and immediate feedback discussions. The face-to-face lecture time was totally 45 minutes

OTHER

Online lecture

The online content included artificial intelligence enhanced audiovisual aids (videos and images), integrated interactive feedback mechanisms (e.g., requiring the participant to scan a QR code and respond to real-time MCQ questions). The online total lecture time was 25 minutes.
