The knowledge will enable nurses to effectively recognize delirium for aged population, and therefore, enable the treatment of the condition with the most effective means and methods. The research questions that will be used in the study will include:
1. Does the use of video clips in a web-based educational model enhance the delirium knowledge for the nurses?
H1: The rate of change in delirium knowledge score will have some significant difference between the control group and the method that has been used for intervention.
2. Does the use of web-based educational model with video clips improve the ability of nurses to recognize delirium in aged patients?
H2: The change in delirium recognition scores will have some significant changes over time and will differ between the control group and the intervention.
3. What characteristics of the research participants influence the changes in delirium recognition and knowledge as a result of the web-based educational model approach?
H4: the mean test score for the changes for the people who will participate in the study are seen to be different when compared to the baseline learner
