Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of web-based education on psychomotor skills teaching and information levels in nursing students.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The universe of the research consisted of first-year students of the nursing department of a university. The sample of the study consisted of 90 students, experimental and control group. At the beginning of the study, the drug administration course was explained theoretically to all students. Psychomotor skill teaching was demonstrated to both groups in the laboratory with demonstration technique. Then, pre-test data were collected. Students in the experimental group were given a link to the web page where they could watch the clinical knowledge and skills teaching video and a user profile was created. The students had the opportunity to watch and repeat the training videos and lecture notes as much as they wanted for two weeks. In the last stage, the knowledge and skill level of both groups was measured again and post-test data were collected. In order to collect data, intravenous-intramuscular injection skill checklists and drug administration knowledge tests created by the researchers were used.

Description:

In today's conditions, depending on the developments in computer and technology, it is inevitable to utilise internet technologies in teaching environments. At this point, Web Based Education (WBE) applications emerged with the use of internet technologies. Many education institutions, especially at higher education level, continue to carry out serious research and development studies in this field as well as realising WBE applications. It was observed that the knowledge level of first-year nursing students about drug applications, intramuscular injection and intravenous catheter insertion skills can be improved with web-based education.

Behavioral:
• Web based education
The link to the web page was shared with the students in the experimental group (https://inonuhemsirelikesaslari.com, the expired page cannot be accessed at the moment). Theoretical training and application process steps video for IV catheterization and IM injection skills were taken to the students in the experimental group and uploaded to the web page. The students in the experimental group were given a username-password with which they could access the web page, and the access status of the students was followed by the researcher. The researcher was able to see the frequency of each student watching the videos and their scores in online tests. The student who did not watch the videos or did not take the test was interviewed and feedback was given about watching them. Students were able to access the web page as often as they wanted for two weeks.
