The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of interactive mobile device application 'Apps on sick newborn care' as a training tool, in improving the knowledge and skill scores of postgraduate nursing students (N = 27). A training workshop was conducted in small workstations by the facilitators using the modules on android device and preloaded videos in which the procedure was systematically demonstrated. A mixed-methods approach consisting of pre-post tests, Likert's scale and focus group discussion were used to assess the knowledge, skills and perception of the participants. The scores in multiple choice questions (pre and post, 12.4 ± 2.2 and 19.7 ± 3.6; P < 0.001) and composite Objective Structured Clinical Examination scores (32.8 ± 7.3 vs. 63.7 ± 7.1; P < 0.001) significantly improved after training. The students derived overall satisfaction from the training using the device. Such applications have potential to train health-care professionals.
本研究的目的是评估交互式移动设备应用程序“患病新生儿护理应用”作为一种培训工具，在提高研究生护理学生（N = 27）的知识和技能分数方面的效果。培训 facilitators 在小型工作站使用安卓设备上的模块和预加载视频进行培训工作坊，其中程序被系统地演示。采用由前后测试、李克特量表和焦点小组讨论组成的混合方法来评估参与者的知识、技能和看法。培训后，多项选择题的分数（前后分别为12.4±2.2和19.7±3.6；P<0.001）以及综合客观结构化临床考试分数（32.8±7.3对63.7±7.1；P<0.001）显著提高。学生们对使用该设备的培训总体满意。此类应用程序有潜力培训医疗保健专业人员。
