An e-Learning Program for Nurses on Evidence-Based Prevention of CKD

Electronic training course to help Syrian nurses prevent chronic kidney disease Why are the investigators doing this study? Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in Syria, yet many nurses have not received up-to-date training on early detection or patient education for risk reduction. The investigators aim to determine whether a brief, phone-friendly online course can improve nurses' knowledge, day-to-day practice, confidence, and satisfaction. What will happen? Registered nurses employed in nephrology, cardiology, or endocrinology units will be invited to participate. Each nurse will complete a short online quiz and questionnaire before the course. Participants will then work through seven brief learning modules (videos, posters, case stories, quizzes) on a phone or computer over four weeks. Two weeks after the final module, participants will repeat the same quiz and questionnaire so the investigators can measure any change. The investigators will also request feedback on course acceptability and suggestions for improvement. Possible benefits If the course proves effective, the investigators plan to offer it to additional nurses across Syria and distribute the materials free of charge. Number of volunteers the investigators plan to enrol 30 nurses (single group; no randomisation). Primary outcome the investigators will measure Change in CKD-prevention knowledge score from baseline to immediately post-course.
