• Registration Number: NCT06650020
• Lead Sponsor: Children's Hospital of Fudan University

Brief Summary

To examine the impact of synchronous online learning on the effectiveness of theoretical training and self-efficacy among newly graduated pediatric nurses.We carried out a Prospective randomized controlled trial.The sample comprised 45 newly graduated pediatric nurses randomly assigned to an experimental cohort group or a cohort group.The control group underwent traditional face-to-face teaching, whereas the experimental group engaged in synchronous online learning.Comparative analysis encompassed the test score from post-session 10-minute assessments, evaluations conducted after one week, and those after one month, alongside their academic self-efficacy scores.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Theoretical Evaluation Scores	The assessment occurred across multiple stages: the pre-class test, the 10-minute post-class test, one week, and one month.	The examination paper was an internally developed document, with the instructor independently formulating the topics relevant to the course. The content was carefully aligned with the course's instructional material and underwent rigorous review by the teaching team. Each unit of course content was accompanied by five corresponding questions, including two single-choice, two multiple-choice, and one judgement-based query. Overall, the examination comprised 60 questions, each worth 2 points, resulting in a total of 120 points.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Scores of Academic Self-efficacy	one month	The evaluation questionnaire was divided into two domains: learning aptitude self-efficacy and learning behavioral self-efficacy, comprising a total of 22 test items. Learning aptitude self-efficacy refers to an individual's assessment and confidence in their ability to effectively navigate their studies, achieve commendable outcomes, and avoid academic shortcomings. On the other hand, learning behavioral self-efficacy focuses on an individual's evaluation and confidence in "relatively agree" earning 4 points, and "completely agree" earning 5 points. Within this structure, questions 14, 16, 17, and 20 are subject to reversed scoring. A higher cumulative score indicates increased academic self-efficacy. The combined total of the two dimensions represents the overall academic self-efficacy score. Similarly, a higher score indicates a heightened level of self-efficacy.
