Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to describe the development and evaluation of an OA eLearning program for healthcare professionals. The evaluation objectives were to measure the usability of, and engagement with, this program and assess the perceived feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness and user satisfaction among OA healthcare professionals.
Methods: A feasibility study was conducted, involving registered healthcare professionals, who regularly manage people with OA. Following baseline questionnaires, participants were asked to complete at least four OA eLearning modules over 10 weeks, followed by a 23-item evaluation questionnaire. The primary outcomes were usability and engagement with the OA eLearning program. Secondary outcomes included feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and satisfaction.
Results: The 31 eligible participants reflected a broad range of professional experiences, nationalities and settings. Program usability, engagement with content, navigation, presentation and overall satisfaction were rated as either very good or good by at least 84% of participants. Participants considered the program to be acceptable, feasible, and appropriate, with some areas for improvement in navigating the program.
Conclusions: The OA eLearning program shows promise in supporting healthcare professionals to deliver evidence-based care. While the findings from this study will inform a randomised trial, the OA eLearning program is well positioned to enhance clinical education and practice.
