- Evaluate the effects of the developed program's workbook and online training on nurses' trauma-related knowledge and attitude, self-efficacy, and professional quality of life.
Of the 42 subjects who enrolled in the study, 1 dropped out before intervention, resulting in 41 participants who completed all interventions and surveys.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nursing Competency Enhancement Training Program in PTSD InterventionOther
This program was for nurses who work at the Mental Health Welfare Center and consisted of a workbook, self-learning online education, and workshop. It included a spoken audio track that was accompanied by visual prompts to provide knowledge on traumatic stress and introduce trauma recovery methods. Its online format made it convenient and widely accessible, and allowed for a low-intensity, cost-effective educational program. The program focused on providing self-learning guidelines for nurses to develop their capacity for PTSD intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Attitudes and knowledge about PTSD
Attitudes and knowledge about PTSD; K-PTSD was used for attitudes and knowledge about PTSD.
The attitude towards PTSD consists of 8 items, 5 items on attitude toward government policy and 3 items on attitude towards PTSD patients, and is evaluated on a 4-point scale.
The general knowledge about PTSD consists of 8 questions, and the answer is very much (1 point), somewhat like it (2 points), not at all (3 points), and not at all (4 points). The range is 0 to 8 points. The knowledge about treatment consists of three questions, and it is a multiple choice type, and only one answer is correct, so the percentage of correct answers can be obtained.
Measured: one month after the intervention
Pro QOL
Pro QOL: To measure the quality of life of experts, the Korean version of the Quality of Life Scale (K-ProQOL 5), which was validated by mental health experts, was used. It consists of a total of 30 questions and is evaluated on a 5-point scale. Sub-domains are divided into empathic satisfaction, exhaustion, and indirect trauma stress. A higher score means a higher level of each domain. Classification according to the cut-off point is divided into high, average, and low, and in the case of empathy satisfaction, 30 points or less means low, 31-37 points mean average, and 38 points or more means high. In the case of burnout, 20 points or less means low, 21-27 points mean average, and 28 points or more means good. Indirect trauma stress 18 or less, 19-25 points average, 26 or more means good .
Measured: one month after the intervention
Self efficacy
Self efficacy: In order to measure the self-efficacy related to trauma intervention, the items developed for measuring confidence and perception related to trauma work were translated into Korean. It consists of a total of 12 items, and the perception of trauma-related task performance, work confidence, knowledge and skills is divided into five items on a 10-point scale (0: not at all, 10: very high). was evaluated.
Measured: one month after the intervention
