Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention will administer an online infographic that displays the 9 risk factors for CKD (eg: Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, smoking) and how to conduct a 'kidney health check' (estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin-creatine ratio, blood pressure) in a graphic (image) form. Administration will be once off. Adherence to the intervention will be monitored by online data analytics in addition to requesting the participant to record their time spent engaging with the infographic. The time to complete the pre and post knowledge surveys, and read the infographic should not exceed 15 minutes

Early detection / Screening
Intervention code [2] 316863 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
The control group will undertake an asynchronous online e-learning program, The program profiles a typical case presentation of a patient attending a general practice and uses this to teach CKD risk factors and screening in an interactive manner. This is in contrast to the intervention which is a single page infographic which presents CKD risk factors and screening procedures in a graphic form. Participants undertaking the control and its associated surveys are expected to complete it within 30 minutes. Administration will be once off although participants can log in and log off until they have completed at their convenience

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 308333 0
The composite primary outcome is general practice nurses’ knowledge about CKD risk factors and screening practices using the previously validated CKD knowledge evaluation instrument
Timepoint [1] 308333 0
Immediately post intervention
Secondary outcome [1] 354630 0
The composite secondary outcome is the difference in learning efficiency between the control and the intervention groups. Learning efficiency will be calculated as the knowledge score divided by the total time spent learning as assessed by knowledge evaluation instrument and online data analytics/participant recorded time.
Timepoint [1] 354630 0
Time between pre and post surveys OR participant reported time taken to complete intervention or control if undertaken over multiple sittings assessed immediately post intervention.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will use a single blinded pre-post interventional randomised controlled trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of an infographic compared to an synchronous e-learning module to increase general practice nurses' knowledge of CKD risk factors and screening processes and to; evaluate the effectiveness of an e-learning module compared to an infographic on general practice nurse's learning time.
