“…Knowledge about VTE varies from one physician to the other, likewise from one health facility to another. 13,14 It is important to note that when these risk assessments were made the patients did not benefit from these pharmacological agents or mechanical devices but were only encouraged to ambulate early especially in post-operative patients. The reasons for this vary from lack of physician prescription probably due to paucity of information on VTE risk assessment or financial constraint on the part of patients to procure these medications when prescribed.…”

“…A similar observation was made in a previous study. 13,14 Unlike previous research work our study focused on the use of Article only one tool: the Caprini scoring index in VTE risk assessment. 15 Nevertheless, in the previous research work the various scoring indices were found to be similar in prognosticating the risk for VTE risk assessment.…”

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), is a major health concern that has continued to pose a challenge to clinicians. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in our environment. In recent years there has been renewed attention on the need for thromboprophylaxis to prevent VTE and its consequences. This is a prospective study carried out on the gynaecological in patients of Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso. This study involved the use of a questionnaire with the details of the Caprini score in assessing patients. Our study revealed that 83 (58.5%) patients had low risk for VTE while 55 (38.7%) had moderate risk for VTE. Only 4 (2.8%) of participants had a high risk for VTE and none of the gynaecological patients could be classified as very low risk according to the Caprini index. There is a need to train and retrain health care givers on the importance of thromboprophylaxis. This training should include the development of local protocols similar to international guidelines meeting the local needs, this will go a long way to ensure it is user friendly to healthcare workers.

“…Knowledge, education and confident translation into practice of risk screening and prevention measures are considered the greatest barriers to practice improvement (Collins et al, 2010). In examinations of nurses' self-perceived knowledge and practice regarding VTE risk screening and prophylaxis most report poor knowledge of VTE risk factors and poor practice with regards to prophylaxis use (Gao & Kause, 2010;Lee et al, 2014;Oh et al, 2017). Attempts to correct this via the implementation of dedicated face-to-face VTE education programs have mixed outcomes (Aberg, 2018;Collins et al, 2010;Duff et al, 2013;Li et al, 2010;Macatangay et al, 2008), particularly in terms of sustained long-term knowledge and practice change (Clark et al, 2011;Duff et al, 2011Duff et al, , 2013Li et al, 2010).…”

Aim: To synthesise published literature exploring online venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention education programmes to identify, test and refine a program theory supporting translation of knowledge into practice for registered nurses. Background: Venous thromboembolism is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in hospitalised patients. Successful implementation of prevention strategies can be impeded by a lack of education and translation of knowledge to practice. Continuing professional development programs using e-learning platforms are increasingly common, however, there is little published literature exploring effective translation of such education to practice. Design: Realist Review. Methods: Searches were conducted in seven healthcare databases prior to July 2020 and updated in March 2022. Synthesis was informed by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model and followed stages of a realist review outlined by Pawson et al. The results were reported according to the RAMESES publication standards. Results: Eight context-mechanism-outcome combinations were identified to explain engagement, completion and adoption of VTE e-learning into practice. Mechanisms included valuing content as relevant to practice, having confidence in the ability to use the technology and empowerment to enact change based on learning. Contextual factors that may constrain the completion of learning include the support of managers and organisations through time, and the availability of resources. Conclusion: Translation of e-learning is critical to ensure clinical excellence. This realist review demonstrated the varying mechanisms contributing to engagement, completion and adoption of learning. These illustrate the complex nature of education for professional development. It demonstrates that the UTAUT model is suitable for guiding the design, implementation and adoption of e-learning programmes. Relevance to clinical practice: This review used a common clinical practice (VTE) to provide a program theory that can guide clinical educators to understand mechanisms
