Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The educational intervention group will be provided with a recorded 30–60 minute PowerPoint presentation via Microsoft Teams. A link to the Microsoft Teams recording will be emailed to participants. Participant access of the educational intervention will be monitored as participants will be prompted to request access to the educational intervention when clicking on the link. The investigator will receive an email upon each access request. Participants will have 2 weeks to review the presentation before completing the follow-up assessments. These follow-up assessments are to be completed 2 weeks after access is granted to the educational intervention and will include a confidence scale and competency questionnaire. The educational presentation will include information, graphics and visual aids relevant to best practice nursing care of haemophilia patients/clients. Presentation will cover elements such as: introduction to Haemophilia, bleed types & management, and role of the nurse in caring for patients with Haemophilia. Participants will be followed up to complete the educational intervention if necessary. Additionally, participants will be sent two automated reminder emails to review the presentation, at the end of the 1st and 2nd weeks of access.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Educational / counselling / training
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be randomised to the educational intervention or control group (1:1). Simple randomisation and concealed allocation will be achieved using a computer-generated random number system. Participants will be notified of their study group via email.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation and concealed allocation will be achieved using a computer-generated random number system.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)

Type of endpoint/s
Statistical methods / analysis
Based on the results of a previous survey of 8 nurses, a 2-point improvement on a 10-point scale was used in the calculation (smallest worthwhile effect of 2). Standard deviation calculated as 2, alpha nominated as 0.05, and beta nominated as 0.80. Sample size calculated as 34 participants (17 per group).

Any differences noted in baseline characteristics that the investigator considers significant enough to influence the outcome of the results will be commented on. If the baseline characteristic is known to be prognostic of outcome, it will be adjusted for in the analysis. If at the end of the study period missing data is identified, two reminders email will be sent, a week apart.

Change in competency questionnaire scores and Likert confidence scores at each of the two timepoints will be analysed as between-group differences with 95% confidence intervals. An intention to treat analysis will be applied, i.e., all subjects for whom outcome measures are available will be analysed in the groups to which they were originally randomised.

Summary
Brief summary
The research project is an investigator-initiated, open-label, randomised controlled trial which will explore the effect of an educational intervention in enhancing the confidence and competence of nursing staff when caring for patients with Haemophilia. The intervention group will receive an educational intervention which will be a PowerPoint presentation. The control group will receive no intervention.

The educational intervention is a 30-60 minute PowerPoint presentation. A link to the recording of the Microsoft Teams presentation will be emailed to participants. The presentation will contain information, graphics, and visual aids relevant to Haemophilia and best-practice nursing care for patients/clients with this condition. Participants will be required to review the educational presentation within 2 weeks. A reminder email will be sent at the end of the 1st and 2nd weeks of access, to remind participants to review the educational presentation.

The control group will receive access to the educational intervention once follow up assessments have been completed by both groups.
