DescriptionThe creation of an evidence-based podcast for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) brings the most in-demand educational topics and up-to-date research to the growing population of millennial practitioners. Defining the learning needs of the CRNA and SRNA through pre-implementation surveys and analyzing the download rate of the created podcast establishes a research basis for nurse anesthesia focused educational podcasting.
This cross-sectional descriptive study analyzes pre-implementation survey results which focus on current podcast listening habits, topics of interest for future podcast creation, and demographics. Recruitment was initiated through social media outlets, and the quantitative research sample was a voluntary group of CRNAs and SRNAs.
An online survey allowed respondents to participate via mobile smart devices and ensured fidelity of data quality. Of surveyed individuals (n=287), 60% were CRNAs and 40% were SRNAs ranging in age from 24 to 75 years. A majority, 75%, of participants stated they utilize existing podcasts for educational purposes specifically pertaining to anesthesia topics. Desired topics of future podcast creation showed a significant preference towards pharmacology (analgesics and opioids) and physiology (cardiac and pulmonology).
Once the experimental podcast, Grace Under Pressure, was released, a total of 75 devices tuned in to listen and 83% of those listeners chose to subscribe to the podcast. As the educational podcast movement continues to develop, this study may contribute to the promotion of podcasts as an education adjunct during and after the formal education of the CRNA.
