## Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the e-learning program about the recognition of child maltreatment is effective in nurses on the A\&E department compared to a control group.

## Detailed Description

Child abuse and neglect represents an international problem with high prevalence and unacceptable levels of morbidity and mortality. Many children are seen each day in the accident and emergency departement of an hospital. Therefore the A\&E departement have an important role in the identification of child maltreatment. The lack of an effective teaching program together with the failures in the child protection process has encouraged the development of a clinical-practice-oriented e-learning program on detecting child maltreatment. We will investigate the effect of this e-learning program.

## Eligibility

- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Working at the A\&E department of the UMC-Utrecht.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Absent during one of the two measurement periods.
```

## Arms

- **E-learning program** — Participants are committed to accomplish the program in approximately 2 hours. Additionally to these mandatory hours, they were able to access the e-learning program at any time and place.
- **control group**

## Interventions

- **E-learning program** (OTHER) — Participants are committed to accomplish the program in approximately 2 hours. Additionally to these mandatory hours, they were able to access the e-learning program at any time and place.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Clinical behaviour on the A&E department, self-efficacy of the nurse in the detection of child abuse and assessment of the individual performance on screening child abuse.** _(time frame: 2-3 months)_
