Asynchronous Distance Learning Performance and Knowledge Retention of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Among Health Care Professionals Using Video or e-Learning: Web-based Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke treatment has significantly improved over the last decades, but the complexity of stroke cases requires specialized care through dedicated teams with specific knowledge and training. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), widely used to assess neurological deficits and make treatment decisions, is reliable but requires specific training and certification. The traditional didactic training method, based on a video, may not adequately address certain NIHSS intricacies nor engage health care professionals (HCPs) in continuous learning, leading to suboptimal proficiency. In the context of time-constrained clinical settings, highly interactive e-learning could be a promising alternative for NIHSS knowledge acquisition and retention.
