“…The theory-based content included interactive classes, self-learning materials and web-based didactic lectures 28–31. There was more diversity of methods within the practical applications, including hands-on practice, role-play, online simulation and video demonstrations 32–38. The efficacy of multiple modalities in training was demonstrated by improved post-intervention scores, patient care and clinical skills in many of these studies.…”

IntroductionContinued nursing education and development can reduce mortality and morbidity of patients and can alleviate the shortage of healthcare workers by training of nurses for high-demand skill sets. We reviewed patterns of educational interventions and strategies in initiating behaviour change, improving patient outcomes or knowledge for nurses in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).MethodsThe study searched the MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases. The study included interventional studies on continued nursing education from 2007 to 2017. Of the 6216 publications retrieved, 98 articles were included and analysed by three independent reviewers.ResultsOf the 98 studies that met inclusion criteria, five were randomised controlled trials, two were qualitative in design and the remaining 91 were quasi-experimental, before-and-after studies. Of these studies, the median sample size of participants was 64, and the majority were conducted in Asia (53.1%). During the 10-year study period, 20.4% was conducted in 2015, the highest proportion, with a general increase in number of studies over time from 2007 to 2017. Main themes that arose from the review included train-the-trainer models, low-dose/high-frequency models, use of multiple media for training, and emphasis on nurse empowerment, strong international partnerships, and the integration of cultural context. Overall, the studies were limited in quality and lacked rigorous study design.ConclusionContinued nursing education in LMICs is essential and effective in improving nurses’ knowledge base, and thus patient outcomes and quality of care. Long-term, randomised studies are needed to understand how training strategies compare in impact on nurses and patients.

“…The majority of studies from resource-limited settings describe small-scale, focused training courses in individual institutions and pre-and post-course tests of knowledge. Four investigations, one in Ghana [52] and three in Sri Lanka [53][54][55], were about regional or national training programs for physicians, ICU nurses, and physical therapists. Dedicated courses in trauma and intensive care-and emergency medicine-related procedures improve knowledge in "best clinical practice" of healthcare professionals working in ICUs in resource-limited settings [56,57].…”

“…A national train-the-trainers program for critical care nursing in Sri Lanka was structured as seven educational blocks over a period of 18 months [53]. Using didactics, simulation, and small group learning, by 2014, this program trained 584 nurses and 29 faculty and allowed local trainers eventually to take command of course directorship.…”
