Comparison of the Impact of Training Through Workshop and Training Through online learning on Knowledge, Attitude and Performance of Emergency Nurses of Selected Hospitals of Aja about Safe Injections

Introduction: Safe injection as a part of the quality and safe care, is one of the common methods of prescribing drugs. If safety standards are not observed, recipients and service providers may face many risks.. Objective: The present study aims to compare the effect of training through a workshop and training through an online learning content on the knowledge, attitude and practice of emergency ward nurses in selected AJA hospitals regarding safe injections. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 46 nurses in the emergency ward of selected hospitals in Aja, Tehran in 2019-2020. Eligible participants were randomly divided into two training groups through the workshop and virtual training. The effect of training on nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practice about safe injection before, after, and one month after the intervention was investigated. Awareness, Knowledge and attitude questionnaires and observational performance checklists were used for this purpose. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential tests in SPSS 23 and the significance level was considered less than 0.05. Results: There was no significant difference between the knowledge and attitude of the two groups before and after the intervention (P>0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the performance of the two groups before the intervention (P>0.05), but after the intervention, the performance score in the workshop training group was significantly lower than that of the other group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the performances of the two groups one month after the intervention (P>0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The results of present study showed that the nurses who participated in the training group had a higher performance than the those trained by online learning educational content. Therefore, this method can be used to improve the performance of nurses and ultimately improve the quality of their performance in providing care services.
