The landscape of teaching and learning, particularly in the realm of technology-supported education, is being transformed by the ongoing presence of portable digital assistant devices and other technological tools. Such technologies have become an integral aspect of learning these days. The use of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, cloud computing, and social media through platforms such as Twitter, Dropbox, Google Apps, and YouTube has become the norm in modern education and has greatly enhanced the quality of higher nursing education. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of technology in nursing education in Saudi Arabia. The study used a systematic review methodology to extract relevant studies from databases and reference lists of related literature reviews. Two independent reviewers screened the title, abstract, and full texts based on predefined eligibility criteria. The review identified four themes from the data retrieved from 15 published articles. The themes include attitude towards e-learning, challenges and quality related to e-learning, social media and smart phones usage, virtual reality and simulation experience. Mixed attitudes have been identified among the participants of the selected studies. Various challenges linked with e-learning, social media usage, smart phones, and simulation have been identified inclusive of technical issues, lack of awareness, lack of training, etc. The findings have also stated that awareness level should be increased related to e-learning for better outcomes in Saudi Arabia. The findings suggest that technology has the potential to improve learning outcomes for nurses, including those involved in research. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that both educators and students receive adequate training on how to effectively use the upcoming technology in Saudi Arabia.
教学与学习的格局，尤其是在技术支持的教育领域，正因便携式数字助理设备和其他技术工具的持续存在而发生变革。如今，此类技术已成为学习中不可或缺的一部分。通过推特、Dropbox、谷歌应用和YouTube等平台使用虚拟现实、增强现实、云计算和社交媒体，已成为现代教育的常态，并极大地提高了高等护理教育的质量。因此，本研究旨在综合关于沙特阿拉伯护理教育中技术有效性的证据。该研究采用系统综述方法，从数据库和相关文献综述的参考文献列表中提取相关研究。两名独立评审员根据预先确定的入选标准筛选标题、摘要和全文。该综述从15篇已发表文章中检索到的数据中确定了四个主题。这些主题包括对电子学习的态度、与电子学习相关的挑战和质量、社交媒体和智能手机的使用、虚拟现实和模拟体验。在所选研究的参与者中发现了不同的态度。已确定与电子学习、社交媒体使用、智能手机和模拟相关的各种挑战，包括技术问题、缺乏认识、缺乏培训等。研究结果还表明，在沙特阿拉伯，应提高对电子学习的认识水平，以取得更好的成果。研究结果表明，技术有潜力改善护士（包括参与研究的护士）的学习成果。因此，至关重要的是要确保教育工作者和学生都接受关于如何在沙特阿拉伯有效使用即将出现的技术的充分培训。
