A 20\u2010question delirium knowledge test was administered both before and after a 40\u2010min, on\u2010demand e\u2010learning course.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At baseline, there was limited understanding that delirium involves a disturbance of consciousness, can be triggered by physical illness or medications, and that few medications are recommended for its treatment. Furthermore, visual hallucinations were not widely recognized as a common type of hallucination in delirium. However, care strategies and non\u2010pharmacological interventions for delirium were well understood even before the course. After the brief e\u2010learning course, knowledge scores significantly increased, demonstrating a large effect size of 0.53. Physicians and pharmacists achieved higher overall knowledge scores after the course compared to other occupational groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Education and targeted dissemination efforts regarding the causes, diagnosis, and pharmacological treatment of delirium are essential for enhancing delirium knowledge among multidisciplinary staff. The leadership role of a \u201cliaison\u201d psychiatrist is pivotal for ensuring effective delirium care and fostering a team\u2010based approach in clinical practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pcn5.70078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,16]],"date-time":"2025-03-16T17:03:56Z","timestamp":1742144636000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Medical
