ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To test if two e-learning modules - one on cognitive impairment, and one on continence and mobility - in older people would improve the knowledge of nurse members from the Canadian Gerontological Nurses Association and College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta.METHODS:
A pre-post-test design was used to test 88 nurses' knowledge of cognitive impairment and 105 nurses' knowledge of continence and mobility and their perceptions of how the modules contributed to their learning.RESULTS:
There was a statistically significant increase in practicing nurses' knowledge about cognitive impairment (0.68 increase), continence (2.30 increase), and its relationship to mobility. Nurses' self-report on the feedback survey demonstrated increases in knowledge, confidence, and perceptions about older people.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest the modules have strong potential to enhance practicing nurses' knowledge about cognitive impairment, continence, and mobility.Palavras-chave
