A Comparison of Computer-based and Instructor-led Training for Long-term Care Staff.

Harrington, Susan S.; Walker, Bonnie L.

Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, v33 n1 p39-45 Jan-Feb 2002

Fire safety training was provided to long-term care staff by computer (n=47) or a print-based, instructor-led program (n=47). Compared to 47 controls, both treatment groups significantly increased knowledge. The computer-trained staff were enthusiastic about the learning method and expressed greater interest in additional safety topics. (SK)
