The objective of this study was to develop an educational training App for ECMO care, and to apply a blended learning approach to improve the knowledge and skills of nurses.
In recent years, for patients with acute cardiac infarction, severe cardiac shock, and refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome, the intervention of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has become an adjunctive treatment for severe cardiopulmonary diseases, which can temporarily replace cardiopulmonary function, slow the deterioration of cardiopulmonary function, and buy time to assist in clinical treatment. However, the education and training of ECMO is mainly based on traditional classroom teaching, which has also been affected by COVID-2019, resulting in training process difficulties as nurses are easily restricted by time and environment.

The instruments of this study included a questionnaire survey, the development of the ECMO Care Strategy App, and a blended learning design. The questionnaire survey consisted of three parts: the first part was the basic attributes, the second part was the perception of the ECMO knowledge and care behaviors, and the third part was the ECMO Care Strategy App System Usability Assessment Scale. The questionnaire content was based on the ECMO training literature and digital learning of Rouleau et al. (2019), Thomas et al. (2019), Chaves et al. (2019), Jiritano et al. (2020), as well as the content of the in-hospital ECMO education and training manual, including the care knowledge and perception of care behaviors, for a total of 18 questions.
