Effect of Haemovigilance Training by Virtual Education and Concept Map Methods on the Knowledge of Nurses Working in an Aja Hospital
Haemovigilance improves nursing care and increases patients’ satisfaction by eliminating the adverse effects of blood transfusion. Proper performance and knowledge of haemovigilance are essential since they can save a human life. Therefore, much emphasis has been placed on education in this field.
This study aimed to compare the effects of haemovigilance training through virtual education and concept map methods on the knowledge of nurses working in a given Aja hospital.
This quasi-experimental study with three groups (virtual education, concept map, and control) was performed in 2019 on 69 nurses working in a military hospital in Tehran. The effect of education (before and after education) was investigated in the domain of knowledge. The measurement tools included a researcher-made haemovigilance knowledge questionnaire and a demographic characteristics form. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21) at a significance level of P<0.05.
One-way ANOVA test showed that the mean scores of knowledge before intervention were not statistically significant in all study groups (P=0.445); however, a significant difference was observed between the study groups two weeks after the educational intervention (P<0.001). In addition, the results of paired t-test showed a significant difference in the score of nurses’ knowledge in two groups of virtual education and the concept map before and after intervention (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the scores obtained by the control group before and after intervention (P=0.386). Moreover, the level of knowledge in the e-learning group was higher than that in the concept map group (P<0.001).
Based on the obtained results, the virtual training method was more effective than the concept map method in achieving the goals in the domain of knowledge. Therefore, it is suggested to use the virtual training method in hospitals to train the medical staff in the COVID-19 pandemic condition.
