Educating Nurses About Venous Thromboembolism Prevention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nurse education in contemporary format and Nurse education in traditional format for Venous Thromboembolism and Venous Thrombosis. Completed, enrolled 933 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
As part of mandatory on-going nursing education, the investigators have incorporated identical information into two distinct web-based learning formats - the traditional linear PowerPoint format (with voice-over) and a new interactive format developed with central nursing education. The investigators will cluster randomize nurses by floor to receive either the traditional education or the new interactive education, and evaluate the impact on administration of VTE prophylaxis doses administered by nurses before and after education. All nurses on a floor will receive the same educational format. If one method of education results in statistically significant improvement in VTE prophylaxis administration, the investigators will cross over to deliver the superior education format to all nurses who originally were given the less effective method.
