Brief Summary

Delirium is an acute and fluctuating disturbance of consciousness characterized by reduced attention, impaired cognition and perception, usually resulting from general physical conditions. Delirium contributes to longer hospital length of stay, increased mortality, increased healthcare costs, and long-term cognitive and functional impairment. However, it is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. E-learning (electronic learning) proves to be a time-efficient, flexible and convenient training method, making it suitable for a large organization like Siriraj hospital where there is a large employee turnover rate. So the investigators want to compare the passing rate between the e-learning group and the traditional learning group.

Conditions

Delirium

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The passing rate between the e-learning group and the traditional learning group

  2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Assess the trainees' satisfaction

  2 weeks

• Investigate the causes of inaccurate CAM-ICU assessment for improvement in future training sessions

  2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

face-to-face

EXPERIMENTAL

Traditional learning group (face-to-face): 4 different sessions will be conducted to suit the participants' convenience Duration of each session is 60-90 minutes Each session comprises lecture, video demonstration of CAM-ICU assessment, discussion, volunteer participation during class demonstration

Other: learning

E-learning

EXPERIMENTAL

60-90 minute online course will be accessible through intranet Wi-Fi The course encompasses types, incidence, risk factors, significance and effects of delirium, diagnostic criteria and CAM-ICU application Inclusion of video demonstration of simulated patients and CAM-ICU application, common pitfalls of healthcare providers, and practice questions
