Integrating transformative learning theory in synchronous E-learning in musculoskeletal pain education among primary care nurses: a randomized study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Synchronous E-learning has been used in Continuing Professional Education (CPE) to teach nurses about musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, but it is insufficient to achieve deeper conceptualization. Hence, we applied Transformative Learning Theory (TLT) to complement the CPE. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the TLT-design CPE and explore the learners' experience of transformative learning in synchronous E-learning.

Methods

A multicenter randomized controlled trial design was employed. Participants received synchronous E-learning CPE, either in the TLT-design workshop (intervention group) or in the usual didactic workshop (control group). Data collection was conducted before, immediately after, and one month after the workshop. We used validated outcome meas
