Abstract

Effective risk communication is needed to convey information and promote public risk perception in any emergency response. Although communication skills are a core competency skill of nurses, they only learn during their study time, and they often lack risk communication skills, especially in global health emergencies. MOOC-based modules can improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. However, research has shown that the MOOC module on risk communication has not been developed for nurses in recent years. This study aimed to develop a module on risk communication in global health emergencies based on the (MOOC) framework. A MOOC module was designed and developed adapting S. Thiagarajan and Semmel’s (1974) 4D model. However, the researcher modifies the process into three stages: define, design, and develop due to time and financial constraints. A MOOC module was designed, developed and evaluated for validity using expert analysis. Six subject matter experts evaluated this module using evaluation checklists and then the scores were analyzed using two methods: the percentage calculation method (PCM) and content validity index (CVI). The PCM scores for module content and xMOOC course design were 85.4% and 95.83%, respectively, and the content validity index (CVI) for module content was 0.95 and for xMOOC course design was 0.92. Both types of content validity tests showed that this MOOC module had excellent content validity and could be used in future nursing educational programs to improve risk communication knowledge and skills. As a result, this MOOC module has made the continuing nursing education program more attractive and meaningful.
