Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for global healthcare systems, requiring rapid training and dissemination of disease management strategies among healthcare professionals. This study conducts a systematic review of 37 studies to examine the learning dissemination methods created and utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on just-in-time training for disease management. This study identifies four core training topics: airway management, infection control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and patient triage. This study also categorizes delivery methods into in-situ simulation-based training, online e-learning platforms, online simulation-based training, and hybrid training models. Findings highlight that simulation-based training methods proved effective for invasive high-risk procedures, while online and hybrid approaches offered scalable and adaptable training during health crises. This study highlights the need for flexible, responsive, and evidence-based training approaches and advocates for including long-term patient outcome data in future evaluations to assess training efficacy during a pandemic. These findings contribute to the development of resilient training frameworks for future public health emergencies.
