Brief Summary

To examine the impact of synchronous online learning on the effectiveness of theoretical training and self-efficacy among newly graduated pediatric nurses.We carried out a Prospective randomized controlled trial.The sample comprised 45 newly graduated pediatric nurses randomly assigned to an experimental cohort group or a cohort group.The control group underwent traditional face-to-face teaching, whereas the experimental group engaged in synchronous online learning.Comparative analysis encompassed the test score from post-session 10-minute assessments, evaluations conducted after one week, and those after one month, alongside their academic self-efficacy scores.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Theoretical Evaluation Scores

  The examination paper was an internally developed document, with the instructor independently formulating the topics relevant to the course. The content was carefully aligned with the course's instructional material and underwent rigorous review by the teaching team. Each unit of course content was accompanied by five corresponding questions, including two single-choice, two multiple-choice, and one judgement-based query. Overall, the examination comprised 60 questions, each worth 2 points, resulting in a total of 120 points.

  The assessment occurred across multiple stages: the pre-class test, the 10-minute post-class test, one week, and one month.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Scores of Academic Self-efficacy

  one month

Interventions

synchronous online learning OTHER

Each participant in this cohort selected a suitable and peaceful learning environment, characterized by ample lighting and strong network connectivity. Equipped with laptops, participants logged into the Tencet conference software ten minutes prior to the session, entered their authentic names, completed the sign-in process five minutes before the course started, and kept their cameras activated throughout the session. During the instructional phase, both the teacher and control group were physically present. While the teacher instructed the control group, screen sharing through Tencet conference software allowed trainees in the experimental group to have clear visual access to instructional materials while audibly receiving instruction through microphones.

synchronous online learning group

the traditional offline model of centralized training OTHER

The control group adhered to the traditional offline model of centralized training, which involved a training facility spanning 100 square meters and accommodating seating for 150 participants. The front section of the training room was equipped with various amenities, such as a projection screen, podium, computer, and microphone, all available for use by the instructors. Throughout the training period, the lecturer provided in-person instruction on-site, allowing trainees to engage in real-time interaction by raising their queries.
