To examine the satisfaction with and feasibility of a computer-based teaching module to teach healthcare professionals how to use and apply the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) to clinical scenarios.
Sixty-eight healthcare professionals who were employed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on a full-time or part-time basis and had received an educational session regarding the PIPP.
A pilot study using an exploratory descriptive design was used to answer: (1) How satisfied are healthcare professionals with the computer-based teaching module? and (2) What is the feasibility of a computer-based teaching module in the clinical setting? Satisfaction was measured using an investigator-developed 5-point Likert scale. Feasibility was measured in terms of time to complete the module, satisfaction with instructions and ability to navigate through the module, acceptability of the module as a teaching method, and format with the computer-based module.
Ninety percent of those sampled were very satisfied with the computer-based teaching method. Use of video and audio clips and photographs enhanced the learning process. Healthcare professionals identified the computer-based teaching method as an effective way of learning about the PIPP and thought that it was feasible to use within the clinical setting.
Computer-based teaching is a feasible method for educating NICU healthcare professionals about the PIPP. Additional research is required to examine the effectiveness of this teaching method on relevant patient outcomes such as pain management.
探讨一个基于计算机的教学模块的满意度和可行性，该模块用于教导医疗保健专业人员如何在临床场景中使用和应用早产儿疼痛量表（PIPP）。
68名在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）全职或兼职工作且接受过关于PIPP的教育课程的医疗保健专业人员。
采用探索性描述设计的试点研究来回答：（1）医疗保健专业人员对基于计算机的教学模块有多满意？以及（2）基于计算机的教学模块在临床环境中的可行性如何？使用研究者开发的5点李克特量表来测量满意度。从完成模块的时间、对说明的满意度、在模块中导航的能力、该模块作为教学方法的可接受性以及与基于计算机的模块的格式等方面来测量可行性。
90%的抽样人员对基于计算机的教学方法非常满意。视频、音频剪辑和照片的使用增强了学习过程。医疗保健专业人员将基于计算机的教学方法视为学习PIPP的有效方式，并认为在临床环境中使用是可行的。
基于计算机的教学是一种向NICU医疗保健专业人员传授PIPP的可行方法。需要进一步研究来检验这种教学方法对诸如疼痛管理等相关患者结局的有效性。
