The COVID-19 pandemic has created a great challenge for educational systems worldwide. During this time, educational centers have been encouraged to use e-learning programs to protect the population against infection. Online teaching has the greatest effect on the process of teaching-learning for certain topics, including professional behavior and commitment, which has prompted educational systems to use creative strategies for a greater effect on learners. The present study aims to determine the effects of e-learning using educational multimedia on the ethical decision-making and professionalism of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The statistical population comprised second-semester nursing students in a first-rank nursing school in north western Iran. The samples were selected using simple random sampling and were divided into experimental (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. In the first stage of teaching, the conventional training method of the COVID-19 pandemic was used in both groups. In the second stage of teaching, an in-person workshop was organized for the control group and an e-learning workshop using educational multimedia for the experimental group. Data were collected by a tool with three parts: Demographic information, the Nursing Dilemma Test (NDT) by Crisham based on the Nurse Principled Thinking, and the Nursing Students Professional Behaviors Scale (NSPBS) designed by Goz. Data were analyzed in SPSS 25 software.
There was a statistically significant increase in the post-test mean score of professionalism (125.70 ± 6.20 vs. 120.95 ± 9.28) and ethical decision-making (46.17 ± 3.81 vs. 44.02 ± 3.21) in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
The learning environment affects learning, and e-learning using educational multimedia has a greater impact than in-person workshops on improved learning outcomes with regard to ethical decision-making and professionalism.
COVID-19 大流行给全球教育系统带来了巨大挑战。在此期间,教育中心被鼓励使用电子学习计划来保护民众免受感染。在线教学对某些主题的教与学过程影响最大,包括职业道德和承诺,这促使教育系统为学习者产生更大的效果而使用创造性策略。本研究旨在确定使用教育多媒体进行电子学习对 COVID-19 大流行期间护理学生伦理决策和专业精神的影响。
本研究采用对照组准实验设计进行。统计人群包括伊朗西北部一所一流护理学校的二年级护理学生。采用简单随机抽样法抽取样本,分为实验组(n=40)和对照组(n=40)。在第一阶段教学中,两组均采用 COVID-19 大流行的常规培训方法。在第二阶段教学中,为对照组组织了一次实地研讨会,为实验组组织了一次使用教育多媒体的电子学习研讨会。使用三个部分的工具收集数据:人口统计信息、Crisham 基于护士原则性思维的护理困境测试(NDT)和 Goz 设计的护理学生专业行为量表(NSPBS)。数据使用 SPSS 25 软件进行分析。
实验组专业精神(125.70±6.20 与 120.95±9.28)和伦理决策(46.17±3.81 与 44.02±3.21)的后测平均得分均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。
学习环境会影响学习,使用教育多媒体进行电子学习对改善伦理决策和职业道德方面的学习结果的影响大于实地研讨会。
