Hello,
Please I want to seek your expert opinions on my PhD thesis;
I am working on "Outcomes of educational intervention in improving nurses' knowledge on health literacy".
1. I have been trying to look into previous studies with similar target population (nurses / healthcare professionals) where educational interventions were employed. I have seen several of them, but the time that was spent in carrying out the interventions was long, this ranged from 4hrs to a few weeks (with intervals).
While considering the busy schedule of my target population (nurses working in selected hospitals) and the group availability at a specific period of time, I intend to carry out the educational intervention via Google meet (a contact). Furthermore, I am trying to see how the time can be shortened, as this will aid their voluntary participation towards the research.
I will be glad if you can recommend a few steps on how I can go about this. I will also appreciate it if you can recommend some validated educational interventions that are relevant to research topic.
2. I have also been looking for validated surveys on "perception of health literacy (with a focus on healthcare providers)" and "awareness of health literacy (with a focus on healthcare providers)". I will be
if you can recommend some.
Thank you in anticipation for your prompt response
Thank you for your kind referral, as a nurse its a high time to assess the health litrecacy, since our nurses are not exposed to new knowledge and they lack update due ro busy schedule and some of the old nurses are reluctent to keep themselves updae
Its is very difficult to make nurses as your population for studies, but to get more participant , its is better to use google doc questionnarie...
If you are using google meet, its better to make a multiple meet with short period of tim(1 hr) at a time.
Please calrify as what educational intervention you are planning to do. First you can do multiple goggle meetings based on the convinience of the seelct participants. Then individual interaction over face- time, WhatsApp or Google meet based on their concincience is the best option to asses waht they gain.Each interview can take about half an hour. FGDs of 6-8 Nurses working inidfferrent specilities on Googlemeet can add vlaue. The domains of dicsussions must be shared in advance
@Suresh Kishanrao, thank you for your response.
I intend to use workshops and training programs, i might involve a little bit of didactic lectures and seminars, and toolkits and resources
Organizing trainings or workshops invovlves following challneges;
1. getting people to attend since you are a new person with little experience
2. The organization letting the Nurses to attned the training or workshop
3. The cosnt of holding such sessions ( Travel, Boarding and Lodging)
4. most importantly the security of such young woman
