Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The NoMAD Instrument, to describe respondents' experiences of using the intervention in the workplace.

The data collection instrument is NoMAD \[1\]. The NoMAD translated into Arabic for the purpose of evaluating the normalization of the pediatric palliative care provide by web-based training concept. The Arabic-NoMAD is divided into 3 sections. It begins with section A consisting of 12 questions about the respondent, section B with 3 general questions about the intervention. Section C contains 20 specific questions about the intervention, corresponding to the 4 constructs of the normalization process theory \[2\], with Coherence and Cognitive Participation has 4 items, 7 items for Collective Action, and 5 items for Reflexive Monitoring. The scale consists of 31 Likert-type items. Items in section B are answered with a 10-point Likert scale ranging from "Not at all" to "Completely". The items in part C are answered using a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from "Disagree Strongly" to 'Agree Strongly'. 'Neutral' and 'Not applicable'.

Time frame: 2 weeks after the end of WBT course

Secondary Outcomes

The interview, using framework analysis, informed by normalization process theory toolkit

Semi-structured face-to-face interviews will be conducted by all nurses on how successful passing ELNEC-PPC WBT course from the selected setting. All participants had direct contact with patients. Three rounds of interviews will be conducted after 3 months. After consenting, participants will be interviewed by the main researcher (MA). All interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed. They will be asked why they felt the change was significant. During the second round of interviews, will be asked about the most significant developments since the beginning of the program; they will be asked to share their views about pediatric palliative care and to describe the extent to which they were adopting the approach, and if not, why not. Topic guides were informed by NPT \[3\], it will be used the interactive NPT toolkit. It contains 16 questions, for thinking through an implementation problem. The work was embedding improved and edited statements and explanations into a web-enabled tool.

Time frame: For 3-months post-course
