Abstract

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are used to support the clinical decisions of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and enhance patient outcomes particularly when they are developed based on a rigorous methodology. Lack of competencies regarding CPGs among HCPs hinders its integration into clinical practice. Innovative educational strategies such as digital education can improve HCPs’ competencies regarding CPGs. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of digital education on attaining competencies of CPGs. Method: quasi-experimental study design was utilized to carry out this study. Convenience sampling technique of 41 HCPs who have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the mean score of knowledge, attitude, and skills of HCPs regarding CPGs and retained up to 6 months of implementing digital education (P<0.05). Conclusion: Digital education can effectively improve the competencies of HCPs regarding CPGs. This improvement provides evidence for using digital education as an effective and interactive strategy for attaining the competencies of CPGs.
