The goal of this web-based randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether an e-learning training program improves the accuracy of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) assessments among practicing paramedics in French-speaking Switzerland who have not previously received formal training in these scales.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare paramedics who complete the NIHSS and mRS e-learning modules before assessment (intervention group) with paramedics who complete the assessments without prior training (control group) to determine whether e-learning training leads to higher assessment performance scores.
Participants will:
Stuby Loric is the lead sponsor of 3 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Control group: Participants will first complete the NIHSS quiz and mRS case vignettes without prior training.
Participants will follow the e-learning modules (NIHSS and mRS).
Other: Educational intervention
Educational intervention by the mean of an e-learning modules (NIHSS and mRS).
Performance on a NIHSS 50-item quiz
The primary outcome will be the performance on a NIHSS 50-item quiz consisting in 3 full assessments of a patient (3x15 items) plus 5 general questions (each question scores 1 point if correct, maximum total of 50 points).
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the study path in a timeframe of maximum 4 weeks.
Performance of mRS assessment
The secondary outcome will be the performance of mRS assessment of about 10 newly developed case-based vignettes (each question scores 1 point if correct, maximum total of 10 points).
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the study path in a timeframe of maximum 4 weeks.
Plan to share: Yes — Study data will be made available by deposition in a public repository (Yareta.org).
