This study aims to determine the views and attitudes of nursing students about the use of interactive digital applications in lectures.Methods: This study employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. The data were collected through a student information form and a semi-structured questionnaire. The research was conducted in the nursing department of a state university in Turkey, and the sample of the study consisted of 314 nursing students. The SPSS 26.0 program was used to evaluate quantitative data. Qualitative data were analysed by the thematic analysis method.Results: 62.1% of the students participating in the study were female, and the mean age was 21.14±1.45. 54.1% of the students stated that they knew interactive digital applications. In the evaluation made among these students, 63.5% of the students stated that their favourite aspect of interactive digital applications was "making solving questions fun", and 46.5% of them stated that "there is not enough time to think about difficult questions". 50.3% of the students stated that it would be easier to understand the lesson when these applications were used, and 47.8% thought that learning would become more fun. As a result of the thematic analysis, eight themes were created for the students' responses.Conclusion: It is thought that integrating interactive digital applications into lessons in a manner appropriate to our era can help achieve the expected learning outcomes and enhance the quality of nursing education. Faculty members should be supported in actively using these practices. KW - Active learning KW - Educational technology KW - Nursing education N2 - Giriş: Son yıllarda öğrencilerin derslerdeki etkileşimini artırmak amacıyla teknoloji tabanlı dijital uygulamaların kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinin derslerde etkileşimli dijital uygulamaların kullanımına ilişkin görüş ve tutumlarının belirlenmesidir.Yöntem: Çalışmada nicel ve nitel araştırma yöntemleri bir arada kullanılmıştır. Veriler öğrenci bilgi formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış soru formu vasıtasıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma Türkiye’deki bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümünde yapılmış olup, araştırmanın örneklemini 314 hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Nicel verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 26.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Nitel veriler ise tematik analiz yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %62.1’i kadın olup, yaş ortalaması 21.14±1.45 olarak saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %54.1’i etkileşimli dijital uygulamaları bildiğini ifade etmiştir. Bu öğrenciler içerisinde yapılan değerlendirmede; öğrencilerin %63,5’i etkileşimli dijital uygulamaların en beğendiği yönünü “soru çözmeyi eğlenceli hale getirmesi”, en beğenmediği yönünü ise %46.5 oranında “zor sorularda düşünmek için yeterli süre olmaması” olarak belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %50.3’ü bu uygulamalar kullanıldığında dersi anlamanın daha kolay olacağını, %47,8’i öğrenmenin daha eğlenceli hale geleceğini düşündüğünü ifade etmiştir. Tematik analiz sonucunda ise öğrencilerin yanıtlarına yönelik sekiz tema oluşturulmuştur.Sonuç: Etkileşimli dijital uygulamaların çağımıza uygun şekilde derslere entegre edilmesiyle öğrenme çıktılarının beklendik düzeye gelebileceği ve hemşirelik eğitiminin kalitesinin artacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu uygulamaların öğretim üyeleri tarafından aktif kullanımı desteklenmelidir. CR - Aras, G. N., and Çiftçi, B. (2021).
