Pandemi Döneminde Uzaktan Eğitimin Sağlık Bilimleri Dersleri Üzerindeki Yeterliliğine İlişkin Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Tutumları: Bir Tanımlayıcı Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, pandemi döneminde hemşirelik öğrencilerinin uzaktan eğitime yönelik tutumlarını etkileyen değişkenleri incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte tasarlanan çalışmaya 431 hemşirelik öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama zamanı Kasım-Aralık 2021 arasındadır. Veri toplama aracını Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Pandemi Sürecinde Uzaktan Öğrenme Ortamlarının Kullanımına İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizi parametrik testler (Bağımsız Örnek T Testi, Tek Yönlü Anova Testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi) ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin çoğu kadın (%74,5), orta gelir düzeyinde (%59,4), ilçede yaşayan (%59,4) ve 3. sınıfta okuyan öğrencilerdir (%32,7). Öğrencilerin çoğu, pandemi sırasında yeterli teknolojik imkana sahip değildir (%51,5). Öğrencilerin çoğu uzaktan eğitimden memnun değildir (%45,0) ve uzaktan öğrenme yoluyla sunulan dersleri yeterli bulmuşlardır (%44,8). Ekonomik durum, ikamet yeri ve sınıf düzeyi, uzaktan öğrenme ortamlarına yönelik tutumları etkileyen faktörlerdir (p<0,05). Teknolojik imkân, uzaktan eğitim memnuniyet ve derslerin yeterliliğine ilişkin görüş tutumları etkilemektedir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Yaş, ekonomik durum, sınıf düzeyi, teknoloji imkân, memnuniyet ve yeterlilik düşünceleri uzaktan eğitime karşı tutumları etkileyen faktörler olarak belirlenmiştir.

Attitudes of Nursing Students Regarding the Adequacy of Distance Learning in Health Sciences Courses During the Pandemic Period: A Descriptive Study

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the variables affecting nursing students' attitudes towards distance learning during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: The descriptive study included 431 nursing students. The data collection period is between November-December 2021. The data collection tool consists of a Personal Information Form and Attitude Scale Regarding the Use of Distance Learning Environments During the Pandemic. Data analysis was performed using parametric tests (Independent Samples T-test, One-Way ANOVA test, and Pearson correlation analysis). Results: Most of the students participating in the study were female (74.5%), of middle income (59.4%), living in a district (59.4%), and in their third year of study (32.7%). Most students did not have sufficient technological resources during the pandemic (51.5%). Most students were dissatisfied with distance learning (45.0%) and found the courses offered through distance learning to be inadequate (44.8%). Economic status, place of residence and class level are factors that influence attitudes towards distance learning environments (p<0.05). Technological capabilities influence attitudes towards distance learning satisfaction and the adequacy of lessons (p<0.05). Conclusion: Age, economic status, grade level, technological resources, satisfaction, and perceptions of adequacy were identified as factors influencing attitudes towards distance education.
