간호학생을 위한 수술간호 e-learning 프로그램의 개발 및 효과

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop an e-learning program that assists nursing students in clinical practicum on operating room nursing in an effort to enhance students' adaptability to clinical experience in the operating room. Also it was to examine the effects of the e-learning program on the knowledge, self-directed learning, and learning motivation of nursing students through the comparison with those of whom completed usual practice. Methods: Based on the need assessment of nursing students, web-based multimedia content consisting of 9 learning modules was developed according to the steps of ARCS(Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) model developed by Keller(1984). The e-learning contents included nursing care in operating room and operating equipments, which were presented by texts, pictures, and real video clips. To verify the effects of the program, this study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. A total of 74 third-year nursing students(34 for an experimental and 40 for a control group) from a junior college in G-city, Korea, who engaged in clinical practicum in an operating room for one week long participated in this study. Data were collected from December 10, 2009 to April 24, 2010. Data were analyzed by SPSS program 17.0. Results: A total of 9 learning modules including 16 learning subjects were developed as an e-learning program to enhance nursing students' clinical practicum on operating room nursing. Knowledge was significantly higher in experimental group compared to the control group(p=.018). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in self-directed learning(p=.907). The learning motivation of experimental group, which was examined posttest only, was also significantly higher than that of control group (p=.027). Conclusion: These results support that the implementation of an e-learning program need to be continued as an effective educational material but we need more research to establish how this can best be implemented in a students' practicum.
