Intervention model description: This is a multi-center, two-arm, controlled trial (RCT). Thirty-six participants will be randomly allocated to either 1) an experimental group that is exposed to our complete 3 hours online training program intervention (n = 18) or 2) a control group that is exposed to an intervention which will be a 3 hours online training program focused on prenatal screening.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The investigators aim to evaluate an online training program on shared decision making within the prenatal context. The main outcome is intention on using a decision aid in prenatal screening consultation and study population is nurses. Secondary outcomes are; knowledge acquisition, acceptability of the formation and perceived usefulness. The investigators hypothesise that this web-based SDM training program developed for the prenatal screening of Down Syndrome will significantly increase nurses' intentions to use the decision aid in their clinical practice with pregnant women and their partner.

Detailed description: Pregnant women have difficulty choosing among the wide variety of prenatal screening options available. To help pregnant women and their partners make informed decisions based on their values, needs and preferences, a decision aid (DA) has been developped and online shared decision-making (SDM) training program for health professionals has been created to support the use of this DA and give health care professionals key elements on SDM. The decision aid was found relevant and acceptable to pregnant women and their partners; the relevance and acceptability of the online SDM training program aren't evaluated yet. This study aim to assess the intention on using a DA after taking the online training program, to evaluate knowledge acquisition and to assess the program's acceptability and perceived usefulness. This is a multi-center, two-arm, controlled trial (RCT). Thirty-six participants will be randomly allocated to either 1) an experimental group that is exposed to the investigator's complete 3 hours online training program intervention (n = 18) or 2) a control group that is exposed to an intervention which will be a 3 hours online training program focused on prenatal screening alone.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Be a certified nurse
* Be involved in supporting prenatal screening decision-making or involved in prenatal screening processes in the province of Quebec;
* Speak and write in French
* Being in active practice within the last year.

Exclusion Criteria:

* None

Primary outcomes:
measure: Change of intention to use a decision aid after completing the online training program on SDM in prenatal screening
timeFrame: The intention will be measured initially before accessing the formation. After the formation completed (duration is variable), the participant will have access to the questionnaire once again in a delay of 24-72 hours.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Knowledge on aspects surrounding prenatal screening and SDM
timeFrame: After the formation completed (duration is variable), the participant will have access to the questionnaire in a delay of 24-72 hours.
measure: Satisfaction with training: self-reported questionnaire
timeFrame: After the formation completed (duration is variable), the participant will have access to the questionnaire in a delay of 24-72 hours.
measure: Acceptability of the training: self-reported questionnaire
timeFrame: After the formation completed (duration is variable), the participant will have access to the questionnaire in a delay of 24-72 hours.
measure: Perceived usefulness
timeFrame: After the formation completed (duration is variable), the participant will have access to the questionnaire in a delay of 24-72 hours.
