Arms & Interventions
intervention group
Once participants have given their consent online, they receive the first questionnaire. Once this questionnaire is completed, a link to the e-learning is provided. Participants then receive an invitation to complete the post-test. The measurements thus take place just before getting the formation (pretest) and after the formation (post-test). After three days, participants receive a reminder e-mail to complete the post-measurement which they can ignore if they have already completed it.
Intervention: E-learning (Behavioral)
Outcomes

Applicability
Time Frame: Post test (i.e., immediatly after e-learning of 60-90 minutes); assessed up to 3 days after pre-test
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the e-learning module based on participants' perceptions. Specifically, it examines how prison staff assess the content, usability and practicality of the e-learning module. This evaluation provides insight into the extent to which the module meets the needs of the target group and the extent to which it is perceived as relevant and applicable in daily practice. Applicability is measured using a self-developed 4-item questionnaire.
Secondary Outcomes
- Attitudes(Change from Baseline (before e-learning) to post-test (immediatly after e-learning of 60-90 minutes); assessed up to 3 days after pre-test)
- Self-efficacy(Change from Baseline (before e-learning) to post-test (immediatly after e-learning of 60-90 minutes); assessed up to 3 days after pre-test)
