An interventional study of Mobile-Based Microlearning Program and Routine Education in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, sponsored by Alexandria University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-08.
Sponsored by Alexandria University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections among mechanically ventilated patients and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, length of intensive care unit stay, and healthcare costs. Adherence of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to evidence-based VAP prevention protocols is essential for reducing the incidence of VAP; however, maintaining consistent adherence remains challenging.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-based microlearning educational program in improving ICU nurses' adherence to VAP prevention protocols. Eligible ICU nurses will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a mobile-based microlearning program or a control group receiving routine educational resources. The microlearning program will deliver short, focused learning modules through mobile devices using multimedia content, interactive activities, reminders, and reinforcement strategies.
The primary outcome is nurses' adherence to VAP prevention practices. Secondary outcomes include nurses' knowledge regarding VAP prevention and knowledge retention over time. Findings from this study may support the integration of mobile-based microlearning approaches into continuing nursing education programs to enhance evidence-based practice in critical care settings.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive a structured mobile-based microlearning program focused on evidence-based ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention practices. Educational content will be delivered through mobile devices using short learning modules, multimedia materials, quizzes, reminders, and reinforcement activities.
Behavioral: Mobile-Based Microlearning Program
Participants will receive routine educational resources and standard institutional training regarding ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention practices.
Other: Routine Education
A mobile-based educational intervention consisting of short learning modules addressing evidence-based ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention measures, including hand hygiene, oral care, head-of-bed elevation, suctioning practices, ventilator care, and adherence to VAP prevention bundles.
Standard educational materials and routine institutional education related to ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention practices.
ICU Nurses' Adherence to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Prevention Protocols
Adherence to ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention protocols measured using a structured observational checklist. Higher scores indicate better adherence to evidence-based VAP preventive practices.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks post-intervention, and 8 weeks follow-up
ICU Nurses' Knowledge Regarding Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Prevention
Knowledge regarding ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention measured using a structured knowledge questionnaire. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks post-intervention, and 8 weeks follow-up
