Nurses are graduating ill-prepared to work with older adults across care contexts. The education nursing students receive about older adults often focuses on managing illnesses rather than promoting health. To expand the education that nursing students receive regarding health promotion and older adults, we examined nursing students' perceptions of an e-learning activity on health promotion with older adults.
We used a cross-sectional survey design. We included first-year baccalaureate nursing students ( = 260) at a Canadian university. Students were required to complete the module, but only those who wanted to participate in the study completed the survey ( = 167; response rate = 64.2%). We used a feedback survey to assess students' perceptions of the e-learning activity using four 5-point, Likert-type items. We also asked one open-ended question to solicit participants' feedback and suggestions for improving the e-learning activity. Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean []) were used to summarize participants' perceptions and demographic characteristics. Content analysis was used to explore responses to the open-ended question.
Participants reported that the module increased their knowledge about health promotion, as well as their perceptions and confidence in working with older adults. Participants also found the method of instruction interactive and enjoyable.
Our e-learning activity on health promotion was perceived by nursing students as helpful in sensitizing them to their role in promoting health among older adults. [(3), 19-24.].
护士在跨护理环境为老年人提供服务时，往往准备不足。护理学生接受的有关老年人的教育通常侧重于管理疾病，而不是促进健康。为了扩大护理学生在促进健康和老年人方面的教育，我们研究了护理学生对老年人健康促进电子学习活动的看法。
我们采用了横断面调查设计。我们纳入了加拿大一所大学的一年级护理本科学生（n=260）。学生需要完成该模块，但只有那些愿意参与研究的学生才完成了调查（n=167；应答率=64.2%）。我们使用反馈调查，使用四个 5 分制的李克特式项目评估学生对电子学习活动的看法。我们还提出了一个开放式问题，以征求参与者对改进电子学习活动的反馈和建议。描述性统计（频率、均值[]）用于总结参与者的看法和人口统计学特征。内容分析用于探索对开放式问题的回应。
参与者报告称，该模块增加了他们对健康促进的知识，以及他们对与老年人合作的看法和信心。参与者还发现教学方法具有互动性和趣味性。
我们的健康促进电子学习活动被护理学生认为有助于使他们认识到自己在促进老年人健康方面的作用。[（3），19-24]。
