Mobile Micro-course Impact on Perioperative RNs in Heart Surgery Nursing.

The Effects of Heart Surgery Nursing Mobile Micro-course in Perioperative Registered Nurse.

The goal of this clinical trialis to compare in learning effectiveness of nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Can the "Micro-course" teaching enhance the awareness of cardiac surgery nursing among operating room nurses?
2. Can the "Micro-course" teaching boost the learning motivation and engagement of operating room nurses?
3. What is the satisfaction level of nurses regarding the use of "Micro-course" in cardiac surgery nursing?
4. What are the relevant factors influencing the effectiveness of the "Micro-course" teaching intervention?

Participants will be divided into two groups. The control group will receive online presentations, while the experimental group will engage in mobile learning combined with micro-courses. Both groups of participants will undergo instruction through asynchronous online courses.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: micro-course; The experimental group adopts micro-course instruction, providing self-directed learning through online asynchronous courses, with instructional content delivered through short videos created by the researcher.	Other: micro-course; The experimental group adopts micro-course instruction, providing self-directed learning through online asynchronous courses, with instructional content delivered through short videos created by the researcher.
Active Comparator: slide presentation; The control group, on the other hand, employs a unidirectional teaching method by the instructor, offering self-directed learning through online asynchronous courses, primarily using researcher-created online presentations.	Other: slide presentation; Provide online presentations.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Cognitive scale	The cognitive scale was self-designed by the author after referencing textbooks and journal articles. It is divided into four dimensions based on teaching topics, with a total of 15 single-choice questions to assess nurses' cognition of cardiac surgery. Each correct answer earns 1 point, with higher scores indicating higher levels of cognition.	Before the experiment commenced, all participants underwent a uniform pre-test. A post-test was administered one week after the conclusion of the course. A second post-test was conducted four weeks after the course concluded (this served as a delayed ass
motivation scale	The scale consists of 12 items and employs a four-point Likert scale for scoring, ranging from 4 points for "strongly agree" to 1 point for "strongly disagree." Higher scores indicate stronger learning motivation.	Before the experiment started, all participants underwent a standardized pre-test. A post-test was conducted one week after the conclusion of the course
Engagement Scale	This scale comprises a total of 10 items, scored using a four-point Likert scale, ranging from 4 points for "strongly agree" to 1 point for "strongly disagree." Higher scores indicate a higher level of learning engagement among the research subjects.	One week after the course concluded, measurements were taken.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
learning satisfaction	There are a total of 10 questions, along with 2 open-ended questions. Scoring for this scale is based on a four-point Likert scale, ranging from 4 points for "strongly agree" to 1 point for "strongly disagree." Higher scores indicate higher levels of satisfaction with learning among nurses.	One week after the course concluded, measurements were taken.
