| Title : | Effectiveness of a targeted education module for healthcare professionals attending a diabetic retinopathy training session in Zimbabwe | | Authors: | R. Woodward, Author ; A. Matimba, Author | | Publisher: | Cambridge [United Kingdom] : FSG Communications Ltd | | Publication Date: | 2017 | | Series: | African Journal of Diabetes Medicine, ISSN 1468-6570 No. 25(1)  | | Pagination: | p.21-25, fig. | | Layout: | Journal Article | | ISSN (or other code): | 1468-6570 | | Languages : | English | | Keywords: | Health Personnel Diabetic Retinopathy Education Zimbabwe | | Abstract: | The Zimbabwe Diabetes Retinopathy Telemedicine Project (ZRTP) was created to develop a pilot programme to screen for diabetic retinopathy among patients attending a diabetes clinic in a public hospital. As part of the project, mid-level healthcare professionals (HCPs) attended one of four half-day training sessions in Harare, Zimbabwe; and took a five-question quiz before and after a 40-minute lecture reviewing the pathophysiology of diabetes and the detection and effects of diabetic retinopathy. Analysis of the pre- and post-lecture quiz results suggest that mid-level
HCPs are deficient in some basic knowledge about diabetic retinopathy and diabetes, but this could be significantly improved by a relatively brief but focused lecture session.
