Clinical records after asynchronous and synchronous e-learning courses: a multi-method randomised controlled trial on students' performance and experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical Record (CR) writing is a fundamental skill for healthcare professionals, but the best e-learning methods for teaching it remain unstudied. Therefore, we investigated speech therapy students' differences in the quality production of CR at the placement and their experience after following asynchronous or synchronous e-learning courses.

Methods

A multi-method randomised controlled trial. Fifty speech therapist students were equally and randomly divided into two groups attending asynchronous or synchronous e-learning classes to learn how to write a CR. The quality of the CR was tested through an ad hoc checklist (score 0-32) and the groups' scores were compared. The assessors and the statistician were blinded to students' group assignment. Students' experien
