Enhancing nurses' anti-phishing knowledge, attitude, and practices through an educational intervention and serious game
Introduction: E-learning opportunities can improve healthcare professionals’ digital competencies. More precisely, the anti-phising training may support nurses when encountering malicious content on Internet. This paper presents the impact of an educational intervention enhanced by a serious game on the nurses’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) regarding Internet usage.
Materials and Methods: this study was based on a double pre test design and is the second part of a PhD thesis based on a project that assess the Infosec practices of nurses who work in seven hospitals in the first and second Healthcare Region in Greece. Nurses who were interested in participating in this second phase of the project were given a link to access the material and the questionnaire. The convenience sample was divided into four sub groups out of which only one group was exposed to the anti phising training. All participants completed the HAIS Q tool and KAP was estimated in PSPP 1.6.2. Descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA were performed. Tuckey post hoc analysis was conducted to determine differences among groups.
Results: the sample of 124 nurses was utilized. Participants that took part in the educational intervention performed better in Knowledge and Practices items. Their total awareness was rated higher than that of their peers who were not exposed to the intervention. There was no significant difference in Attitude towards Internet usage.
Conclusions: a multimodal educational intervention was delivered and positively affected nurses' Knowledge, Practices, and general Awareness on Internet usage. Nevertheless, the researchers highlight that the present version of the educational intervention was a pilot study and further research could be conducted.
