| Popis: | Objectives The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly challenged the capacity of long-term care (LTC) homes in Canada resulting in new, pressing priorities for leaders and healthcare providers (HCPs) in the care and safety of LTC residents. This study aimed to determine whether Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Care of the Elderly Long-Term Care (COE-LTC): COVID-19, a virtual education program, was effective at delivering just-in-time learning and best practices to support LTC teams and residents during the pandemic. Design Mixed methods evaluation. Setting and Participants Interprofessional HCPs working in LTC homes or deployed to work in LTC homes primarily in Ontario, Canada, who participated in 12 weekly, 60-minute sessions. Methods Quantitative and qualitative surveys assessing reach, satisfaction, self-efficacy, practice change, impact on resident care and knowledge sharing. Results Of the 252 registrants for ECHO COE-LTC: COVID-19, 160 (63.4%) attended at least one weekly session. Nurses and nurse practitioners represented the largest proportion of HCPs (43.8%). Overall, both confidence and comfort level working with residents who were at risk, confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19 increased after participating in the ECHO sessions (effect sizes≥0.7, Wilcoxon signed rank p |
