About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of a Online Training Program With a Clinical Procedure Standardized: "Blood Culture in Units of Nursing". Quasi-experimental Study
This study evaluates if the implementation of an online platform with procedures and protocols, improve the knowledge of professionals and can have a health impact related to decreased contamination of blood cultures.
Read the detailed description
This is a Quasi-experimental study, with parallel groups (experimental and control).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an Online Learning Platform used by nurses to improve the results of a blood culture technique. The online learning tool is studied in two of four internal medicine units of a tertiary hospital in Madrid. These two units have similar characteristics of personnel, materials and structure. Both units are at a great distance, preventing a professional talk to each other.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Online training of a nursing techniqueProcedure or surgery
Also called Elsevier Clinical Skills
The professionals with participant in the experimental arm receive an online training of a technique of extraction of blood culture and other arm the professionals no receive any training. They work as usual.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Online training of a nursing technique | Experimental | Participants receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture for 3 months (This platform aims to improve knowledge and skills), they are sent 3 homework (one per month) and are evaluated at the end of each. Receives: Procedure: Online training of a nursing technique |
| not receive online training | No intervention | Participants don´t receives an individual online training of extraction of blood culture.Do their work as usual. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Contaminated Cultures in the Control and Experimental Group Before Intervention and After the Learning Obtained With the Online Training Platform.
The results obtained in each arm of the study are collected month by month in both groups (Experimental and control). The data for each month are summarized for 6 months, reporting the pre-intervention result (for both groups: experimental and control). The data collected during the 3 months following the intervention are also summed during the 3 months, giving a value at the end of this time (month 9 of the study).
Measured: assessed monthly, month 6 and 9 reported.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Score on the Knowledge Test Related to Blood Culture Extraction Technique for Nurses (K-Blood-CT)
The improvement in the learning of the technique is measured with a test with 20 questions created ad hoc related of blood culture intervention (Blood culture collection knowledge test for nurses). The score ranges from 0 points (worst level of knowledge) to 10 points (best level of knowledge). The results can be divided into intervals: 0-2.99 very deficient; 3- 4.99 insufficient; 5-6.9 good; 7-8.9 notable; > 9 outstanding.
Measured: 6 month and 9 month of study.
