Summary of findings 16. Teaching: video‐based learning versus traditional lecture.
| Video‐based learning compared to traditional lecture for preventing highly infectious diseases due to exposure to contaminated body fluids in healthcare workers | ||||||
| Patient or population: healthcare workers Setting: simulation studies Intervention: video‐based learning Comparison: traditional lecture | ||||||
| Outcomes | Anticipated absolute effects* (95% CI) | Relative effect (95% CI) | Number of participants (studies) | Certainty of the evidence (GRADE) | Comments | |
| Risk with traditional lecture | Risk with video‐based learning | |||||
| Skills in PPE donning Assessed with assessment scale. Scale from: 0% to 100%; higher is better | The mean skills in PPE donning was 47.4% | MD 30.7% higher (20.14 higher to 41.26 higher) | ‐ | 26 (1 RCT) | ⊕⊝⊝⊝ Very low1,2,3 | |
| *The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: confidence interval; MD: mean difference; PPE: personal protective equipment; RCT: randomised controlled trial | ||||||

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect. Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate; the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different. Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited; the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect. Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate; the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect. | ||||||
1The randomisation and allocation procedures were unclear and so we downgraded by one level because of study limitations. 2This is a simulation study so we downgraded by one level because of indirectness. 3One study with only 26 participants and so we downgraded by one level because of imprecision.
