Participants
A total of 108 candidates were invited to take part in the study and all agreed to participate by signing informed consent. Four participants were lost to attrition because they did not attend the course. Two participants from the control group were excluded because they had viewed the online module which a fellow participant of the research group had shared with them. Twelve participants were excluded because the instructor group deviated from the research protocol by including a different pelvic binder model into the teaching session. The remaining 90 study participants, were divided between traditional teaching (n = 44) and a blended approach (n = 46).Completion time of the online module varied, with 32 candidates taking 0–15 min and 10 candidates taking 15–30 min; data for 2 were missing. Previous exposure to training on the application of a pelvic binder was nearly equal between groups, with 25 in the control group and 28 in the research group, constituting 61% of each group. Data for 3 candidates in the control group were missing.
