Effects of Web-Assisted Education on Nursing Students' Pressure Injury Knowledge Levels

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of web-assisted education on the pressure injury knowledge levels of nursing students. Methods The study was conducted with 106 first-year students in the Nursing Department. Those who received both web-assisted education and conventional education were assigned to the experimental group, and those who received only conventional education were assigned to the control group. The authors used arithmetic mean, percentages, Student t test, and χ2 test to analyze the data. Results The rate of the correct responses given to the questions by the students was 97.55% in the experimental group and 85.15% in the control group. The comparison of the mean number of correct answers revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions The authors conclude that the web-supported education given to nursing students in addition to the conventional education positively contributed to their learning level.
