Correlation of Nursing Students’ Digital Literacy Levels and Counseling Skills

Abstract

Objective: This research was conducted as a descriptive, and correlational study to analyze the association between nursing students’ digital literacy levels and counseling skills. Material and Method: The study sample comprised 383 nursing students. The Personal Information Form, the Digital Literacy Scale, and the Counseling in Nurses Scale were used in the data collection process. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage), the independent samples t-test, an F-test, Pearson’s correlation test, and multiple regression analysis test were utilized in the analysis of research data. Results: It was found that nursing students had high digital literacy levels (66.05±12.30 points) and counseling skill scores (45.17±4.11 points). In addition, a moderate positive correlation (r=.367) was obtained between the students' digital literacy and counseling skill scores. A significant difference was determined between nursing students' educational status, daily internet use time, internet use time according to students' selfevaluations and their digital literacy scores. In addition, it was found that there was a significant difference between age, education level, daily internet usage time, choosing a profession willingly and counseling skills (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the development of strategies to improve the digital literacy of nursing students may contribute to the development of students' counseling skills. Strategies and programs that increase digital literacy should be included in nursing education to improve students' counseling skills.
