Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effect of teaching Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) via e-learning and face-to-face to doctors receiving postgraduate medical education (PGME).

Conditions

Exercise Test; Learning

Keywords

E-Learning; Face-to-Face Learning; Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Open-Ended Achievement Test

  Open-Ended Achievement Test: It is used to measure doctors' knowledge and skill levels on CPET. It will be prepared by the trainers for each lesson.

  at baseline, After the training is completed (at the 4. week)

• Adult Motivation Scale

  Used to evaluate doctors' motivation towards the training process. The purpose of the scale is to determine the motivation levels and orientations of adults. It consists of two factors and 21 items in total. In the analyzes conducted for the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.94. This value shows that the scale has high internal consistency.

  at baseline, After the training is completed (at the 4. week)

• Distance Education Attitude Scale in Lifelong Learning

  It is used to measure doctors' attitudes towards distance education. "Distance Education Attitude Scale in Lifelong Learning" is designed to evaluate attitudes towards distance education.

  at baseline, After the training is completed (at the 4. week)

• Cognitive Flexibility Scale

  Used to evaluate doctors' ability to solve problems, adapt and respond to different situations. The Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) is used to measure how individuals adapt their behavior to new and unexpected situations occurring in their environment. CFS was developed by Dennis and Vander Wall and adapted into Turkish. CFs is a self-report type assessment tool with a total of 20 items, consisting of 'alternatives' and 'control' subscales. Cronbach's alpha value of the Alternatives subscale at the first and last measurement was .91. Cronbach's alpha values of the control subscale are .86 in the first measurement and .84 in the last measurement.

  at baseline, After the training is completed (at the 4. week)

• State and Trait Anxiety Scale

  It is used to measure the momentary and continuous anxiety states of doctors during the training process. This scale is used to evaluate individuals' momentary and persistent anxiety states. State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety. There are 20 items in the state anxiety scale. There are 20 more items in the trait anxiety scale. There are 40 items in the scale in total. Kuder-Richardson reliability of the inventory was .83 to .87 for the Trait Anxiety Subscale; For the State Anxiety Subscale, it was found to be between .94 and .96. Item reliability correlations were .34 to .72 for the Trait Anxiety Subscale; For the State Anxiety Subscale, the range between .42 and .85 indicates that the Turkish translated items are reliable. The test-retest reliability rates of the inventory are .71 to .86 for the Trait Anxiety Subscale; For the State Anxiety Subscale, it is between .26 and .68 and is considered sufficient.

  at baseline, After the training is completed (at the 4. week)
