Abstract

BACKGROUND:Just-in-time education enables knowledge improvement during health crises. This study was conducted to determine whether nurses' knowledge improved after participating in an innovative online education intervention designed to upskill subacute nurses to prepare for a health crisis.

METHOD:The intervention was developed by university nursing academics and supported and promoted through a partnership with a government health department and clinical nurses. Quantitative data obtained with a pretest/post-test knowledge survey were analyzed with independent samples and paired t tests.

RESULTS:Statistically significant improvements were seen in nurses' knowledge according to qualification level. The mean difference for knowledge improvement for registered nurses was 1.90, SD = 2.54, and the mean difference for knowledge improvement for enrolled nurses was 2.93, SD = 2.43 (mean difference = 1.03; 95% CI [0.04, 2.03].

CONCLUSION:The intervention was highly effective during the emergent and ongoing phases of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This study showed that delivering just-in-time education can improve nurses' knowledge.
