About this study
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of an online training program on medical staff in five public hospitals located in Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, and Fujian Provinces of China, on improving fire knowledge.
Methods: Participants will be randomly divided into control (receiving non-fire video training) and intervention (receiving hospital fire video training) groups. All participants will complete a questionnaire of fire knowledge before and after receiving the training.
Hypothesis: If the online training is effective, it can be promoted as a convenient and effective use of training and be promoted to other hospitals.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hospital fire video trainingBehavioural
Participants will watch a video about hospital fire training which last for 30 minutes
Non hospital fire video trainingBehavioural
Participants will watch a video about volcanic eruption which last for 30 minutes
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | Will receive hospital fire video training Receives: Behavioral: Hospital fire video training |
| Control | Placebo comparator | Will receive non-fire video training Receives: Behavioral: Non hospital fire video training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change of fire knowledge
A 46-item multiple-choice questionnaire will be administered to measure the fire knowledge level of the participants. Sample items include "Use a wet towel to cover your nose and mouth when fire occurs" and "How to assist patients with intravenous infusion to escape?".
Measured: Participants will complete the questionnaire 5 minutes before the start of and 1 minute after watching the video which last for 30 minutes, and the change of fire knowledge will be computed.
