Abstract

New tools to educate immunization managers in developing countries are needed to keep these health policy makers current on the latest vaccines and procedures, and to provide support in decision making. The goal of the AIM e-Learning Project is to deliver up-to-date and engaging web-delivered media, with solid instructional design, to an audience relatively new to web-based learning. Accuracy of information and accessibility drive our design. Our ultimate objective is to aid immunization managers in developing timely, effective and sustainable policy.

[Teaching activities in the program for health promotion and addiction prevention in 2003-2004].

The Faculty of Nursing at the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Mexico started as a professional career in 1952, being a part of the university programs and offering the technical nursing career. Later, in 1986, the teacher training program in nursing initiated. In 1996, the University Council approved the project for a presential Masters Course in Nursing Science. The distance mode of the same course initiated in 2002, using interactive videoconferencing, and is offered in various status of the Mexican Republic. As a participant in the CICAD (Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission) program, the Faculty of Nursing aims to create networks to contribute to a decrease in drugs demand in Latin America and the Caribbean through transformative leadership, promoting a holistic focus on health prevention.

Teaching basic life support to nurses.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Every member of healthcare personnel should be able to perform basic life support including defibrillation (CPR-D). The biggest cost of implementation is training and these costs need to be reduced. The purpose of this randomized study was to evaluate the applicability of distance learning as a method to teach CPR-D. METHODS: Nurses (n = 56) working in a geriatric hospital were randomized into three groups. The first group was given the Internet-based CPR-D course and the second was given a traditional, small-group CPR-D course. A third group without specific training in CPR-D served as a control group. An objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was performed 2 weeks after the courses with a manikin patient having a cardiac arrest. RESULTS: The median score of all participants was 31/49 (range 21-38). The reliability of the checklist was adequate (Cronbach alpha 0.77). Nurses receiving traditional CPR-D performed better than those receiving the Internet-based course (median score 34 vs. 28, P < 0.05) and the control group (median score 34 vs. 26, P < 0.0001). Nurses receiving Internet-based course performed similarly as the control group (median score 28 vs. 26, ns). CONCLUSIONS: Distance learning cannot substitute for traditional small-group learning.
