Highlights

  • The study’s objective was to examine the impact of a virtual training platform, Flipgrid, on job satisfaction among adjunct clinical nursing faculty. 

  • The study was a randomized controlled trial that used surveys to compare levels of job satisfaction among adjunct clinical nursing faculty who participated in the Flipgrid virtual training to levels of job satisfaction among control group of adjunct clinical nursing faculty that underwent customary, non-virtual training.  

  • The study suggested there was no statistically significant relationship between participation in the Flipgrid training and job satisfaction for adjunct clinical nursing faculty. 

  • The quality of causal evidence presented in this report is low because it was a randomized controlled trial with unknown levels of attrition and the author did not ensure that the groups being compared were similar prior to the intervention. This means we cannot be confident that the estimated effects are attributable to the Flipgrid virtual training and not to other factors.  

Intervention Examined

Flipgrid

Features of the Intervention

Flipgrid is an online platform that utilizes an asynchronous approach which connects users to discuss their ideas in prompted topic areas.  

Features of the Study

This study used a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of the Flipgrid training platform on job satisfaction among adjunct clinical nursing faculty. The author obtained a list of adjunct clinical nursing faculty from a single, private, non-profit, faith-based university in the western United States.  

The study author invited 116 adjunct clinical nursing faculty members to participate in the study. Of those, 74 agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to either the treatment or comparison condition. Study participants in the treatment group participated for five weeks in the Flipgrid virtual training. Study participants in the comparison group participated for five weeks in a customary, non-virtual training. Post training, study participants were surveyed to gauge job satisfaction.  

Findings

Attitude

  • Study findings suggest that there is no statistically significant impact of the Flipgrid virtual training on job satisfaction over conventional non-virtual training for adjunct clinical nursing faculty. 

Considerations for Interpreting the Findings

The author notes that of the 74 faculty members randomly assigned to a study condition, only 64 participants participated in their respective trainings. The author omits participants who did not participate in their assigned group from the study, resulting in total study attrition rate of 16 percent. The author reports that the final analytic sample consisted of 35 treatment group members and 29 comparison group members. However, because the original assignment ratio is not provided by the author, it is not possible to determine the precise extent of differential attrition.     

Because the study was a randomized controlled trial with unknown levels of study attrition, and the author did not take additional steps to adequately ensure that the treatment and comparison groups were similar prior to the intervention, this study receives a low evidence rating.  

Causal Evidence Rating

The quality of causal evidence presented in this report is low because it was a randomized controlled trial with unknown levels of attrition and the author did not ensure that the groups being compared were similar prior to the intervention. This means we cannot be confident that the estimated effects are attributable to the Flipgrid virtual training and not to other factors.
