      interactive workshop.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Nurses, as multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Care (DFC) team members, 
      need to be trained in DF prevention and management. Regarding the increasing use 
      of e-learning educational courses as the new learning strategy with potential 
      benefits among health care providers, this study attempted to evaluate the 
      educational effects of an e-learning course on DFC compared to that of an 
      interactive workshop in the related knowledge attainment. METHODS: This was a 
      quasi-experimental study compared two non-randomized groups consisting of nurses 
      who attended an e-learning course (intervention group) and a face-to-face 
      interactive workshop (control group) on DFC using a pre- and post-test design. 
      The eligible nurses enrolled by convenience sampling. All five e-modules on DF 
      prevention and care were the same for both groups. A P value of <0.05 was 
      considered as significant. RESULTS: The study findings indicated that both 
      e-learning course and interactive workshop increased DFC knowledge among nurses. 
      There is a significant difference between the learning level (after training) in 
      the intervention and control groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest 
      that the e-learning course of DF could be as effective as conventional 
      educational methods. However, considering the time, cost savings and providing an 
      opportunity to learn anytime and anywhere, of the e-learning course, it is 
      recommend for the future and required that more health care providers be trained 
      to use of distance learning.
