It is important that nurses possess adequate clinical skills so that the patient receives safe and competent care. Smart phone applications (apps) can promote active learning and the long-term retention of knowledge of undergraduate students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the thoughts and experiences of nursing students who received a smart phone, app-based physical assessment educational intervention.
A qualitative descriptive approach with in-depth interviews was considered as suitable to obtain a comprehensive understanding of students' experiences of a smart phone-enabled physical assessment course.
Based on interviews with 16 nursing students following the intervention, five themes were derived from the analysis of the interview transcripts: "the APP's physical assessment scenarios are very close to real-life clinical situations," "watching physical assessment videos over the APP is a quick way to learn what to do," "the APP is a new way of learning that enhances thinking and reflection," "some nursing students felt that it was out of their depth to analyze the scenarios in the APP," and "the APP needs enhancements in stability and interactivity."
The findings of this study showed the mobile app as an effective learning aid that promoted transferability of the nursing students' knowledge and past experience. With the help of the APP, the teachers could offer timely guidance to the students.
护士具备足够的临床技能非常重要，这样患者才能得到安全且专业的护理。智能手机应用程序（应用）可以促进本科生的主动学习和知识的长期留存。因此，本研究的目的是探讨接受基于智能手机应用的体格检查教育干预的护理专业学生的想法和体验。
采用定性描述性方法并进行深入访谈，被认为适合全面了解学生在智能手机支持的体格检查课程中的体验。
基于对16名接受干预后的护理专业学生的访谈，从访谈记录分析中得出五个主题：“应用程序中的体格检查场景非常贴近现实临床情况”，“通过应用程序观看体格检查视频是学习操作方法的快捷方式”，“应用程序是一种增强思维和反思的新学习方式”，“一些护理专业学生觉得分析应用程序中的场景超出了他们的能力范围”，以及“应用程序在稳定性和交互性方面需要改进”。
本研究结果表明，移动应用程序是一种有效的学习辅助工具，可促进护理专业学生知识和过往经验的迁移。借助该应用程序，教师可以为学生提供及时指导。
