Knowledge Management for Emergency Center Nurses’ Clinical Performance: A Follow-Up Study of LMS-Based Training Graduates

Abstract

This study aims to clarify how learning resources are utilized after training completion and to examine how LMS-based environments support knowledge use in clinical practice from a knowledge management perspective. The participants were 20 nurses who had completed an LMS-based training program in an emergency medical center, and their post-training learning logs were longitudinally analyzed for at least three months. The results showed that eight participants continued to access learning materials on the LMS after course completion, typically around one-month post-training. The accessed materials included procedural checklists, learning resources, microlearning modules, confirmation tests. In contrast, twelve participants did not use the LMS after training, as clinical tasks could be performed using paper-based materials. These findings suggest that LMSs can function not only as training tools but also as knowledge support infrastructures that enable flexible and context-dependent use of learning resources in clinical practice.
