      abstract = {This quality improvement project involved developing,  implementing and evaluating an educational intervention  using computer-based training (CBT) and high-fidelity  simulation (HFS) to increase knowledge, confidence and  compliance of nurses identifying sepsis. A one-group  pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were nurses  on a general ward of an academic medical centre. Study  variables were measured over three timepoints: 2 weeks  before, immediately after and 90 days after implementation.  Data were collected from January 30, 2018, to June 22,  2018. SQUIRE 2.0 checklist for quality improvement  reporting used. Improvements in knowledge of sepsis  (F&lt;sub&gt;(2,83)&lt;/sub&gt; = 18.14, p &lt; 0.001,  η&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 0.30) and confidence in early  recognition of sepsis (F&lt;sub&gt;(2,83)&lt;/sub&gt; = 13.67,  p &lt; 0.001, η&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 0.25) were found.  Additionally, compliance with sepsis screening improved  between the preimplementation and postimplementation period  (χ&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 13.633, df = 1, p &lt; 0.001). Overall, the  nurses evaluated their experience with the CBT and HFS as  strongly positive. When designing and implementing an  educational intervention on sepsis, a process for follow-up  which provides reinforcement should be considered to retain  nurses' knowledge.},
