Asynchronous online nursing education has been associated with poor levels of student interaction. This study investigated perceived social presence, a construct used to understand online interactions, and satisfaction during asynchronous text-based communications with a sample of 33 first-year and second-year nursing students. Participants were also experiencing synchronous video communications for their online education. Although social presence in asynchronous text-based communications correlated positively with satisfaction, most students identified a higher degree of social presence and satisfaction with video communications. Consideration of social presence within online education using synchronous video communications is thus recommended.
异步在线护理教育与学生互动水平较低有关。本研究调查了感知社会临场感（一种用于理解在线互动的概念）以及33名大一和大二护理专业学生在基于文本的异步通信中的满意度。参与者也在通过同步视频通信进行在线学习。虽然基于文本的异步通信中的社会临场感与满意度呈正相关，但大多数学生认为视频通信的社会临场感和满意度更高。因此，建议在使用同步视频通信的在线教育中考虑社会临场感。
