“…The sample is based on similar studies that have implemented interventions for health professionals. For example, a study by Gundo et al 41 used G-Power software 42 to calculate the sample size based on a conservative effect size of d=0.5, a power of 80% and an alpha=0.05. The calculated sample size was 34, but 41 participants were invited to participate in training to allow for a dropout rate of at most 20%.…”

IntroductionNurses are essential for implementing evidence-based practices to improve patient outcomes. Unfortunately, nurses lack knowledge about research and do not always understand research terminology. This study aims to develop an in-service training programme for health research for nurses and midwives in the Tshwane district of South Africa.Methods and analysisThis protocol outlines a codesign study guided by the five stages of design thinking proposed by the Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University. The participants will include nurses and midwives at two hospitals in the Tshwane district, Gauteng Province. The five stages will be implemented in three phases: Phase 1: Stage 1—empathise and Stage 2—define. Exploratory sequential mixed methods including focus group discussions with nurses and midwives (n=40), face-to-face interviews (n=6), and surveys (n=330), will be used in this phase. Phase 2: Stage 3—ideate and Stage 4—prototype. A team of research experts (n=5), nurses and midwives (n=20) will develop the training programme based on the identified learning needs. Phase 3: Stage 5—test. The programme will be delivered to clinical nurses and midwives (n=41). The training programme will be evaluated through pretraining and post-training surveys and face-to-face interviews (n=4) following training. SPSS V.29 will be used for quantitative analysis, and content analysis will be used to analyse qualitative data.Ethics and disseminationThe protocol was approved by the Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee of the University of Pretoria (reference number 123/2023). The protocol is also registered with the National Health Research Database in South Africa (reference number GP_202305_032). The study findings will be disseminated through conference presentations and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

“…[14] In addition, studies have shown that education can improve nurses' knowledge and practices in the management of critically ill patients, leading to better patient outcomes. [15][16][17] Higher ratios of nurses with specialized critical care training have also been linked to better patient outcomes. [18] Maintaining adequate staffing levels is essential when developing a workforce emergency plan.…”

Objective: Competent and trained nurses are essential for critical care preparedness. This study assesses the impact of an educational training program (Jahezon) on the participants' critical care knowledge by comparing their pre- and post-knowledge outcomes.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design to examine the impact of 40 days of theoretical and practical training on 43 selected nurses from 16 hospitals located in the Hai’l Health cluster, situated in the city of Hai’l, Saudi Arabia. The training program started on November 2021, the curriculum covered a comprehensive range of critical care nursing concepts and was divided into four phases. The instrument used to assess knowledge was a 50-item multiple-choice questionnaire, which was administered as a pre-test, post-test, and a 6-month follow-up test format. The data were analyzed using SPSS v29.0.Results: The mean total scores were the highest in the follow up test (M = 9.87, SD = 2.34), followed by the post-test (M = 7.57, SD = 0.98) and the pre-test (M = 5.91, SD = 1.06), showing a statistically significant difference (F(2, 117) = 64.834, p < .001). From the pre-test to the post-test, 93% of the total scores improved. The only demographic factor that affected the test scores was gender, with female nurses scoring higher.Conclusions: The nurses' knowledge improved significantly after their participation in the critical care training program, but more research is needed to determine their actual performance in caring for critically ill patients during a pandemic.
