Introduction of WHO BEC course for nurses at Bugando Medical Center in Mwanza, Tanzania
Introduction
The Basic Emergency Care (BEC) course is an open-access training designed for frontline providers in low resource settings which focuses on recognizing and managing emergent conditions. This study describes the implementation of the BEC course for nurses at Bugando Medical Center (BMC) in Mwanza, Tanzania in March 2020 as part of an educational initiative to improve nurses’ knowledge and confidence in providing emergency care.
Methods
This is a 2-week educational intervention with pre-post measurements. 12 nurses (cohort 1) received BEC training from in-country facilitators over the course of 4 days. A training-of-trainers (ToT) course followed immediately and the 5 newly trained facilitators then taught the BEC course to 12 additional nurses (cohort 2). Pre- and post-BEC knowledge was assessed with a standardized 25-question multiple choice (MCQ) exam; confidence levels were evaluated using a 4-point Likert scale survey; and qualitative feedback obtained was examined by thematic analysis.
Results
24 participants completed the BEC course, 5 of which completed a ToT to become BEC facilitators. For the combined group, knowledge assessment scores improved significantly from 63.8% to 85.2% with a mean difference of 21.5% (t(24)= 9.3, p<0.0001). Similar improvements were seen when cohort 1 and cohort 2 were analyzed separately. Analysis comparing the results across different demographic groups demonstrated a significant improvement in post-course score for each group. Confidence levels increased significantly across all domains. Main qualitative feedback themes were: quality of teaching; method of teaching; applicability of training to daily nursing practice; more time allotment; and the need to expand the course to other healthcare providers and to rural sites.
Conclusion
Implementation of the BEC course at BMC led to an improvement in nursing emergency care knowledge and self-confidence. The course was well received and the ToT model was successful, giving the nurses the ability to train additional local nurses.
