Aims
To evaluate the efficacy of Cognitive-Theory-Based Slides (CTS) in improving nurse knowledge retention.
Background
Traditional slides are crowded and less engaging; CTS aims to reduce extraneous cognitive load.
Methods
Used randomized trial design, comparing CTS to traditional slides across three assessments.
Results
CTS showed better immediate knowledge acquisition but comparable knowledge decay over time.
Conclusion
CTS effectively supports knowledge acquisition and can enhance training in other domains.
Lessons Learnt
Multimedia tools improve learning efficiency but need reinforcement to sustain retention.
