A chlamydia education and training program for general practice nurses : reporting the effect on chlamydia testing uptake
The long-term health consequences of untreated chlamydia are an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancies and infertility among women. To support increased chlamydia testing, and as part of a randomised controlled trial of a chlamydia intervention in general practice, a chlamydia education and training program for general practice nurses (GPN) was developed. The training aimed to increase GPNs' chlamydia knowledge and management skills. We compared the difference in chlamydia testing between general practices where GPNs received training to those who didn't and evaluated acceptability. Testing rates increased in all general practices over time. Where GPNs had training, chlamydia testing rates increased (from 8.3% to 19.9% (difference=11.6%; 95% CI 9.4-13.8)) and where GPNs did not have training (from 7.4% to 18.0% (difference=10.6%; 95% CI 7.6-13.6)). By year 2, significantly higher testing rates were seen in practices where GPNs had training (treatment effect=4.9% (1.1 - 8.7)), but this difference was not maintained in year 3 (treatment effect=1.2% (-2.5 - 4.9)). Results suggest a GPN chlamydia education and training program can increase chlamydia testing up to 2 years; however, further training is required to sustain the increase beyond that time.
