The correct response was awarded one point, and the total score was calculated (maximum score 10). Questionnaires were scored based on the number of items answered correctly.

Thus, the survey questions were administered to attendees at two-time points: (1) shortly after the registration and (2) immediately following the CME activity (paper-pencil version of the questionnaire).
A total of 91 participants completed both pre and post-CME questionnaire out of 101 participants. In the end, the participants were requested to fill up the post-CME questionnaire. The interactive session was then followed, and questions were attended by the participants regarding ARV. The session lasted for about 1 and 1/2 h. Thereafter, the speaker explained the epidemiology of rabies briefly and various aspects of the PEP against Rabies in detail. They were given a predesigned and pretested pre-CME questionnaire which included ten questions on different aspects of animal bite: animal bites responsible for Rabies, available antirabies vaccine (ARV) in hospital, route, dose, and schedule of ARV, its safety in pregnancy, and knowledge about immunoglobulins and change of ID to intramuscular (IM) schedule of ARV and vise a versa.Īfter a brief introduction of the CME to the participants, they were requested to attempt the pre-CME questionnaire. The CME was started with the registration process. The current study focuses on the effect of a CME session on rabies and antirabies vaccination in staff nurses working at a tertiary care medical college hospital located in Tribal area of South Gujarat.Ī CME session was organized for the staff nurses working in Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) Medical College Hospital, Valsad, Gujarat by the department of Community Medicine in the month of April 2017. Evaluating the impact of educational activities on outcomes is an essential competency. Hence, planning, implementation, and evaluation of CME activities need special attention.
#NAMO BRIDGE VIETNAM PROFESSIONAL#
The ultimate outcomes of CME activities are to improve the professional practice of patient care. The World Health Organization has provided new recommendations on rabies PEP in 2018.Ĭontinuing Medical Education (CME) supports the professional practice of nursing and the delivery of safe, evidence-based, high-quality care for patients. The guidelines for PEP against rabies were revised in expert consultation by National Centre for Disease Control in 2002, 2007, 2013, and 2015. There is a dearth of studies revealing the knowledge of health workers regarding rabies or the impact of their knowledge status following a training program on rabies. Loss of human life from rabies is intolerable when effective postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and immunoglobulin are available universally. The lack of proper knowledge of animal bite management and rabies vaccination can lead to inadequate vaccinations resulting in an increased risk of development of human rabies. The key activities envisaged under the program are training of health professionals on appropriate management of animal bite victims, intradermal (ID) route of antirabies vaccine, and information education and communication (IEC) activities. To address the issue of rabies in India, the National Rabies Control Program is being implemented since the 12 th five-year plan. International organizations working in the field of rabies had stressed upon the elimination of “Dog-mediated Rabies” by 2030 (Zero by Thirty).
