The average theoretical knowledge pre-tests and post-test scores of online training was 62.1 ± 18.9 and 82.5 ± 14.3. While the theoretical knowledge score of pre-tests and post-test of onsite training was 65.6 ± 19.0 and 79.6 ± 15.6, both were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). An evaluation of efficacies in practical skills and satistified domain in all training courses for COE either via the tele-Simulation-based training or the traditional Simulation-based training found that both methods were significantly increased. Also, the participants’ satisfied outcome towards the training course was ‘good’ to ‘very good’ in every area.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The outcome of the study showed that the efficacy of online based training was not lower than onsite training.</p>}, number={1}, journal={The Bangkok Medical Journal}, author={Wuttikaivanit, Anusa and Yanatavee, Supakit}, year={2023}, month={Feb.}, pages={29} }
