Background
  • Up to 50% of hospitalised patients are undernourished and several are at nutritional risk at time of admission to hospital.
  • Performing nutritional screening and implementing a nutrition plan can potentially reduce length of stay, rate of complications and improve quality of life. 
  • New strategies to support staff learning about nutritional screening and nutrition plans are needed.

Aim: To develop an e-learning course for healthcare staff on how to make nutritional screening and nutrition plans at both somatic and psychiatric wards.

Summary of Work
  • The e-learning course was developed by an interdisciplinary team from 2013 to 2015.
  • The course covers nutritional knowledge, clinical cases, and a multiple choice test.
  • The course is based on adult learning theory and supports interactive learner activity.

 

more detail
Summary of Results
  • The course was launched in January 2015 in wards at seven hospitals in the Central Denmark Region.
Conclusion
  • Providing a flexible learning opportunity using an e-learning course may be one way to support staff learning and reduce the number of undernourished patients in hospitals. 
  • Next step will be to investigate how and why the e-learning course worked to help clarify the processes that underline observed effects. 
Take-home Messages

Flexible learning opportunities can support staff learning about nutritional screening and nutrition plans, and may potentially improve better nutritional practice.
