J Nurses Prof Dev. 2021 Jul-Aug;37(4):249-256. doi: 10.1097/NND.0000000000000755.

Abstract

Neonatal nurses provide essential care in the hospital setting for improving infants' morbidity and mortality outcomes by preventing hypothermia after delivery. This quality improvement project describes the development and implementation of a web-based educational activity, demonstrating that online education effectively increases nurse knowledge and commitment to thermoregulation practices. A learning management system provides nursing professional development practitioners an effective method of improving nursing knowledge using a web-based educational curriculum in the clinical setting.
