Abstract

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of e-flipped and online case-based workshops on the nurses' knowledge, attitude and behaviour regarding thalassemia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A pre-test-posttest interventional study was conducted with two intervention groups and a control group. One hundred and fifty nurses were recruited from comprehensive urban health centres in June-December 2020. The nurses were randomly allocated to one of the three groups: case-based e-flipped workshop (n= 50), case-based online workshop (n= 50) and control (n= 50). A researcher-made questionnaire was completed by eligible subjects at baseline, after the end of the training sessions and 4 weeks after interventions to assess their knowledge, attitude and behaviour. Data were analysed in IBM SPSS v16.0. ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests were used to compare the three groups. The mean knowledge, attitude and behaviour scores in the intervention groups increased significantly more than that in the control group (p< .001). One week and 4 weeks following the intervention, the mean score of knowledge, attitude and behaviour in the e-flipped group was greater than that in the online group (p< .001). According to the results, e-flipped and online case-based workshops can improve nurses' knowledge, attitude and behaviour regarding thalassemia.
