Déploiement d'un e-learning douleur en hôpital universitaire

Pain prevalence in hospitalized patients remains high and represents a challenge for nursing practice. In our academic tertiary hospital, we deployed a cross-institutional program for the promotion of good clinical practice for pain management. It offers different tools (pain intranet, pain scales, institutional guidelines, patient brochures, etc.) and several training models. Recently, a distance training (e-learning) of sensitization level about pain was created and deployed to 3500 nurses. Mandatory for these professionals, it aims to establish a common base of knowledge, language and practices. It consists, in its standard course, of 21 short audio-commented presentations. Various additional and optional presentations have been developed for specific services. The model includes an assessment of knowledge before and after, to initially define individual utility of the training and to certify the required knowledge acquisition (a rate of 70% success should be obtained to validate the training). The satisfaction of the target audience is also measured by post-training survey. The estimated duration of the course is a half-day of work. The modality of e-learning was chosen because it enables deployment to several thousand people in a relatively short period, an automated assessment, and autonomy and flexibility for the learner who can decide its own learning pace. This article describes the learning system put in place and its evaluation mode.
