Brief Summary

Research Methods, Procedures, and Participant Requirements:

This study will test a multimedia interactive learning system designed to help nurses conveniently learn about chemotherapy drug administration. The study is scheduled to be conducted from November to December, 2025. Participants are expected to cooperate with the following procedures:

Pre-test: Complete a questionnaire that includes basic demographic information and a self-efficacy scale. The estimated time for completion is about 10 minutes.

System Experience: Use the multimedia learning system developed by the research team to study topics such as chemotherapy administration procedures, common error management, and side effect monitoring. The total learning time is approximately 30 minutes, and participants may use the system at their own pace-continuous use in one session is not required.

Post-test: After completing the learning session, participants will fill out another questionnaire assessing learning outcomes, changes in self-efficacy, user experience, and system usability. This takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

The total participation time is estimated to be 45-60 minutes. All responses will be collected anonymously. Participants may contact the research team at any time if they have questions or concerns, and assistance will be provided as needed.

Detailed Description

This study adopted a quasi-experimental research design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach, and participants were recruited through convenience sampling. The overall research framework followed the ADDIE model, which consists of four main phases: Analysis, Design, Development & Implementation, and Evaluation. The study integrated the clinical needs of the intensive care unit (ICU) to develop and apply an interactive multimedia educational program. The research process is described as follows:

1. Analysis Phase

In this phase, the research team conducted a situational analysis in the ICU through on-site interviews and structured interview guides with nurses to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they face during chemotherapy administration. The key areas of investigation included nurses' familiarity with drug characteristics, mastery of administration and standard procedures, monitoring of chemotherapy-related side effects, and their ability to respond to unexpected situations.

To assess nurses' self-efficacy comprehensively, a self-efficacy questionnaire was distributed to collect data on their confidence and practical needs regarding chemotherapy administration and medication safety. The findings from this phase served as the foundation for the subsequent system design, ensuring that the system functions aligned closely with clinical practice needs.

2. Design Phase

Based on the results of the analysis phase, the second phase focused on constructing a blueprint for the interactive multimedia education program. The research unit established an Oncology Treatment Task Force in 2021 and released a revised version of the "Oncology Treatment Manual" in the same year. The 32-page manual covers topics such as pre-administration assessment, introduction to common oral and injectable chemotherapy drugs, principles for handling medical orders, and procedures for managing extravasation. It also integrates audiovisual teaching resources to provide multiple learning channels.

Drawing upon the manual and clinical requirements, the research team developed a scenario-based interactive multimedia design emphasizing common clinical issues and medication processes. This allows nurses to receive accurate, real-time guidance when encountering problems or seeking information in clinical practice.

3. Development & Implementation Phase

In this phase, the research team developed and implemented the multimedia educational content and system interface based on the needs and materials identified in the previous stages. The process included functional development, content verification, and multiple rounds of pilot testing. ICU nurses were invited to test the system and provide feedback. The research team continuously refined the interface and content presentation according to user feedback to ensure that the educational system met real clinical requirements and was user-friendly.

4. Evaluation Phase

During the evaluation phase, the research team collected nurses' feedback after using the multimedia system. The evaluation incorporated the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess the system's usability and acceptance. If the results indicated areas for improvement, the team would return to the design or development phase for revision and optimization, achieving continuous iteration and quality enhancement of the system.

Study Groups

Single-Group Interactive Multimedia Learning Intervention

Participants in this arm will receive access to an interactive multimedia learning system developed based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development & Implementation, Evaluation). The system provides scenario-based modules covering chemotherapy drug administration procedures, error prevention, and adverse effect monitoring.

Each participant will complete a pretest assessing baseline knowledge and self-efficacy, followed by a self-paced learning session using the multimedia system for approximately 30 minutes. After completing the learning activities, participants will take a posttest evaluating knowledge acquisition, changes in self-efficacy, and system usability using the System Usability Scale (SUS).

This single-group intervention aims to enhance ICU nurses' competence, confidence, and learning engagement in chemotherapy care through an interactive, technology-enhanced educational approach.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Interactive multimedia education

Intervention Type: OTHER

This intervention involves the implementation and evaluation of an interactive multimedia learning system developed to enhance nurses' competence and self-efficacy in chemotherapy administration. The system integrates clinical guidelines, audiovisual demonstrations, and scenario-based simulations designed according to the ADDIE instructional design model (Analysis, Design, Development & Implementation, Evaluation).

Participants will first complete a pretest assessing baseline knowledge and self-efficacy, then independently access the multimedia learning platform to engage with modules covering chemotherapy drug administration procedures, error management, and adverse effect monitoring. The platform allows self-paced learning and provides instant feedback through interactive exercises. After completion, participants will take a posttest evaluating knowledge gain, self-efficacy improvement, and system usability.
