Occup Ther Health Care. 2017 Apr;31(2):150-161. doi: 10.1080/07380577.2017.1307481. Epub 2017 Apr 24.

Abstract

Gaps exist in the knowledge of return-to-driving guidelines, and education is needed for Australian health professionals working in the field of stroke. In this paper, authors evaluate the implementation of an e-learning module. A pre- and post-module knowledge test and survey were used to assess the e-module's success in achieving its learning objectives. Initially, 204 learners completed the module, with 68% of learners scoring 100% in the post-module knowledge test. Only 12 learners completed the survey. The authors recommend that health professionals other than occupational therapists access this e-module, and a review on e-module structure is required to improve results of knowledge tests.

Keywords: Acute stroke; inter-professional education; knowledge translation; online/computer-based education; return-to-driving.
