abstract="AIMS: To examine the effects of e-learning on intimate partner violence (IPV) knowledge, preparatory/reinforcing behaviors for supporting IPV victims, and IPV screening of midwives and nurses. <br><br>METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG: e-learning) and control group (CG: no e-learning). The primary outcome was the mean change in knowledge score. The secondary outcomes were the mean number of types of practiced preparatory/reinforcing behaviors and the proportions of participants who practice screening. Unpaired t tests were performed in intention-to-treat analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: Of the 88 participants, 45 were randomly assigned to the IG and 43 to the CG. For the post-1-test, the IG had a mean change in the knowledge score of 8.5 points with a significant difference from the 1.4 points in the CG (mean difference [MD] 7.1, 95% CI [4.1, 10.1]). The mean change between the pre-test and the post-2-test was significantly larger in the IG (7.9 points) than in the CG (1.3 points) (MD 6.6, 95% CI [3.3, 9.9]). The mean number of types of practiced behaviors at the post-1-test and post-2-test was significantly higher in the IG than in the CG (MD 1.4, 95% CI [0.1, 2.8]). There was no significant difference in the proportions of participants who practice screening between the two groups postintervention. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The e-learning effectively improved knowledge and promoted preparatory/reinforcing behaviors.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
