Interactive CD ROM resources for nursing students. 'Developing a CD ROM tutorial' Brain injury and normal movement: an approach for nurses and carers

Abstract

This project aimed to build on work the team has already completed in developing multimedia
resources for Diploma in Nursing students. This work, funded by a previous TLQIS bid,
resulted in two videos exploring the care of a person with a head injury from the acute phase
through to rehabilitation. The work has been successfully disseminated nationally and
internationally and has been followed up with the pilot use of Blackboard as an adjunct. The
videos evaluated well with our own students and received positive feedback from independent
reviews in the Nursing Times and the Nursing Standard. Evaluation from our own students
has also indicated some key areas in which more in depth tutorials are needed. These include
facilitating normal movement and preventing mobility problems. A search of both commercial
and non-commercial products reveals that no such dedicated resources exist. In addition a
National Service Framework for Long Term Conditions, including brain injury, is being
developed for implementation in 2004. The scoping exercise has already indicated a need for
staff development in the field of brain injury.
This project therefore aimed to respond to local student evaluations as well as nationally
identified skill deficits by developing a tutorial on the topic of facilitating normal movement
following acquired brain injury. This proposal therefore aimed to produce, evaluate and pilot a
CD ROM tutorial taking into account the evidence base in the literature to inform such
developments.
