  • Title: Is computer-based instruction an effective way to present fire safety training to long-term care staff?
    Author: Harrington SS, Walker BL.
    Journal: J Nurses Staff Dev; 2003; 19(3):147-54. PubMed ID: 12794540.
    Abstract:
    This study offers evidence that computer-based instruction is a feasible and effective alternative training method for long-term care staff. Participants were 289 nursing facility staff randomly divided into two treatment groups. One group completed instructor-led (IL) fire safety training and the other completed computer-based (CB) training adapted from the IL version. Both the CB and IL groups significantly increased their scores from pre- to posttest. Differences between the two groups were not significant.
