Online learning was considered a novel method of teaching that affects university lifestyle and health. This study focused on online perception of Al-Qunfudhah medical students during psychology course learning and the effect of online teaching on social life.
Fifth-year students participated in an online psychology course. The online questionnaire consisted of 15 questions: three for demographic distribution, seven to assess online perception, and five to measure the effect of online teaching on students' social health. Questionnaire validity was checked by a preliminary pilot study, and Cronbach's alpha was used to assess internal consistency. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Seventy-five (83.3%) students participated in the study: 48 (64%) female and 27 (36%) male. Fifty-eight (77.3%) medical students documented a good perception of online learning of a psychology undergraduate course, whereas 17 (22.7%) had a poor perception. Additionally, 29 (78.4%) female students reported online teaching had a significant effect on their social and psychological health (p < 0.010), whereas eight (21.6%) male students showed that online teaching does not affect their social life.
Al-Qunfudhah medical students, both men and women, highly participated in the psychology course online learning; however, female students were socially and psychologically affected by online learning more than male students.
在线学习被认为是一种影响大学生活方式和健康的新型教学方法。本研究聚焦于宰赫兰医科大学学生在心理学课程学习期间的在线学习认知以及在线教学对社交生活的影响。
五年级学生参加了在线心理学课程。在线问卷由15个问题组成：3个关于人口统计学分布，7个用于评估在线学习认知，5个用于衡量在线教学对学生社交健康的影响。通过初步预试验检查问卷效度，并使用克朗巴哈系数评估内部一致性。p值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
75名（83.3%）学生参与了研究：48名（64%）女生和27名（36%）男生。58名（77.3%）医科学生对心理学本科课程的在线学习评价良好，而17名（22.7%）评价较差。此外，29名（78.4%）女生报告在线教学对其社交和心理健康有显著影响（p < 0.010），而8名（21.6%）男生表示在线教学不影响他们的社交生活。
宰赫兰医科大学的男女学生都高度参与了心理学课程的在线学习；然而，女生在社交和心理方面比男生更容易受到在线学习的影响。
