About this study
Official title: Comparing the Impacts of Two Versions of a Continuing Education Activity Targeted at COPD Case Managers on Educational Outcomes
This study aims to compare the impacts of two versions of a continuing education activity targeted at COPD case managers on educational outcomes: 1) participation; 2) satisfaction; 3) learning; 4) competence; 5) performance; 6) patient health outcomes.
Read the detailed description
This study has a quasi-experimental design. The study is based on the Expanded Outcomes Framework for Planning and Assessing Continung Medical Education by Moore (2009). One groupe of participants will attend the former version of the continuing education activity, and the other group will attend its new version.
Data will be collected at T0 (before the activity, which will be held at T1); at T2 (immediately after the activity); at T3 (1-month post-activity); at T4 (2-month post-activity); at T5 (4-month post-activity); at T6 (10-month post-activity).
Participation will be assessed at T0. Satisfaction will be assessed at T2. Learning will be assessed at T0 and T3. Competence will be assessed at T2. Performance will be assessed at T4. Patient health outcomes will be assessed at T5 and T6.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Active learningOther
1-day continuing education activity consisting of a lecture on patient education.
Passive learningOther
1-day continuing education activity consisting of a brief lecture on patient education and workshops.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active learning | Experimental | Educational strategies will be used to foster active learning. Receives: Other: Active learning |
| Passive learning | Active comparator | Traditional educational strategies (lecture) will be used. Receives: Other: Passive learning |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Performance
We will videotape patient education intervention delivered by attendees in their professional practice and will assess the quality of the delivered patient education intervention using a set a pre-defined criteria.
Measured: 2-month post-intervention
Secondary outcomes (4)
Satisfaction
We will measured the extent to which attendees' expectations about the continuing education activity are met, using a self-administered questionnaire.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention
Learning
We will measured declarative and procedural knowledge about patient education in attendees, using a validated self-administered questionnaire.
Measured: Prior to and 1-month post-intervention
Competence
We will measure attendees' self-reported competences in achieving learning activity objectives, using a self-administered questionnaire.
Measured: Prior and immediately post-intervention
Patient health outcomes
We will measured COPD patients' health-related quality of life, self-management skills, and health utilization, using validated interviewer-administered questionnaires.
Measured: 4-month and 10-month post-intervention
