Development and evaluation of an online cardiotocography course tailored to LMIC settings: a feasibility study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka

The audit revealed lapses in CTG documentation, interpretation, and interventions. The posttest scores improved by 40.6% (152.8%), but some participants did not complete the course because of a lack of motivation, time constraints, and inadequate facilities. Postimplementation audits revealed improvements in practices, although uterine contraction documentation and overall impression recording declined. The findings suggest the feasibility and effectiveness of online self-learning courses in improving CTG knowledge and practices in Sri Lanka. However, motivation, incentives, and reinforcement measures are needed for better outcomes.
