Abstract
Aim: This study aims to examine the attitudes of nursing students towards information and communication technologies. Method: The sample group of this descriptive research consists of 298 students, who voluntarily participated in the research from the Department of Nursing of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Sakarya University in 2016-2017 academic year. . The data were collected by using "Student Description Form" and "Scale of Attitudes Towards Information and Communication Technologies". The data has been analyzed by using their frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation together with Mann Whitney-U test and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: Average of the total scores of Scale of Attitudes Towards Information and Communication Technologies has been determined as 82.04±13.00. When the subscale scores have been examined, the tendency of general information and communication technology is determined as 23.65 ± 4.01, accessing information in the virtual environment as 19.98 ± 3.17, the computer hardware as 10.00 ± 4.97, the use of software as 17.91 ± 3.73 and the communication in the virtual environment as 10.47 ± 2.63. A significant difference has been found at the total score averages of the Scale of Attitudes Towards Information and Communication, according to the grade of the students, having a personal computer and the use of Internet mail (p <0.05). Besides, it was found that the information and communication technologies attitudes were not affected by the variables such as age, school that they were graduated, mother and father education status, income level, mother and father employment status, place of residence, using the internet for research, entertainment and communication purposes (p>0.05).Conclusion: Nursing students' attitudes towards information and communication technologies have been found to be positive.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerine yönelik tutumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte yürütülen bu araştırmanın örneklemini Sakarya Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde 2016-2017 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 298 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. “Öğrenci Tanıtım Formu” ve “Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerine (BİT) Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma ile Mann Whitney-U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ölçekten elde edilen toplam puan ortalaması 82.04±13.00, alt boyutlara ilişkin puanlar sırasıyla genel BİT eğilimi: 23.65±4.01, sanal ortamda bilgiye erişim: 19.98±3.17, bilgisayar donanımı: 10.00±4.97, yazılım kullanımı: 17.91±3.73 ve sanal ortamda iletişim:10.47±2.63 olarak saptanmıştır.Öğrencilerin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri tutumları ile sınıf düzeyi, interneti mail amaçlı kullanma ve kişisel bilgisayara sahip olma durumu arasında anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Bunun yanında BİT tutumlarının yaş, mezun olunan lise, anne ve baba eğitim durumu, gelir durumu, anne ve baba çalışma durumu, yaşanılan yer, interneti araştırma, eğlence ve iletişim amaçlı kullanma durumu gibi değişkenlerden etkilenmediği saptanmıştır (p>0.05).Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerine yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
