Abstract
Learning about how to assess a patient’s mental health status is traditionally performed through lectures. While this conveys information, it does not situate the material in real contexts which promotes knowledge transfer to clinical settings. As a result, a mobile app was developed to help nurse trainees learn about mental status assessment. This app was integrated into a nurse-training program and evaluated for its influence on student learning experiences. Two deployment studies were conducted. Nurse trainee interactions with the app and their perceptions of its appropriateness across these studies indicate this novel technology supported appropriate learning experiences. We discuss the implications our findings have for integrating mobile apps into formal learning settings.
