q3 i? A randomized controlled trial found no between-group differences at 6 weeks on primary outcomes or clinical observation audit, while the intervention group showed significant within-group improvements in knowledge, confidence and competence. → EL Hussein Mohamed Toufic 2026

q3 · i? · review · r2

This single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial randomized 72 critical-care RNs (36 intervention; 36 control) to a multicomponent SBE programme (online videos, flip-chart session, role-play and OSCE with standardized patients) versus online videos only. At 6 weeks "there were no between-group differences on primary outcomes or on the clinical observation audit"; no effect size is printed for this null finding.

"At 6 weeks, there were no between-group differences on primary outcomes or on the clinical observation audit; however, the intervention group showed significant within-group improvements over time in knowledge, confidence and competence whereas the control group showed no significant within-group changes."
