Journal Title: Journal of Public Health and Development - Year 2023, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Nowadays, electronic learning (e-learning) is necessary for organizations to support their learning activities. Besides, integrating e-learning into learning and teaching may be challenging with several hurdles. Therefore, a psycho-educational program is necessary for nursing students to improve their perception and overcome obstacles regarding electronic learning, thus, improving their learning experience. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the psycho-educational program on perceptions and obstacles regarding electronic learning among nursing students. Design: This study used a quasi-experimental design, pretest-posttests; 341 students were chosen randomly from four academic years, at Assiut University's Faculty of Nursing, during the 2021-2022 academic year. Methods: Students were chosen randomly and given the psycho-educational program. Data were collected via student perceptions of electronic learning questionnaires and obstacles to electronic learning questionnaires before and after the program intervention. Results: This study showed an improvement in positive perception as the percentage was 90.3% compared to 56.9% before implementing the program, and negative perception decreased from 43.1% to 9.7% with p < 0.001). The mean difference was 13.07 (95% CIs: 11.364 - 14.782). This study revealed a reduction in obstacles regarding e-learning which in the pre-program, reported the presence of obstacles regarding technical and administrative support, infrastructure and technology, and curriculum content dimension with 78.9%, 74.5%, and 70.4%, respectively. While, in the post-program, obstacles regarding the same subdimension of obstacles were reported at 34.6%, 34.6%, and 28.7% respectively, the mean differences were -7.29, -6.85, and -6.41 (95% CIs : -8.292 to -6.294, -7.821 to -5.874, and -7.326 to -5.525), respectively. Conclusion: The psycho-educational program improved perception and reduced nursing students' obstacles to electronic learning. Recommendation: This study might serve as a guide for future studies delving into reasons for success that contribute to the positive viewpoint regrading e-learning systems.
