Abstract

Boost methods for reinforcing educational content have been found to train the brain to designate information as important. A longitudinal, quasi-experimental study design evaluated the effect of an interprofessional simulated patient sepsis video with educational boosts on knowledge retention among acute care nurses at a large academic health system using linear mixed-effects modeling. Findings suggest that boost methods may impact nurse knowledge retention, potentially eliminating the need to repeat costly, traditional educational efforts.
