NURSING STUDENTS’ SATISFACTION WITH VIRTUAL AND DISTANCE EDUCATION IN PANDEMIC

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and in order to observe social distancing, Universidad de Playa Ancha (Valparaíso, Chile) implemented digital teaching strategies to keep students’ curricular progress going. In this context, the need arises to know the satisfaction of students. OBJECTIVE: To determine nursing students’ satisfaction with the online and remote educational process implemented in times of pandemic. METHODOLOGY: This is a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental and cross-cutting study. The 'Distance Teaching Satisfaction Scale' was applied to a non-probabilistic and convenience sampling (N=106). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: For the Learning Contribution factor, 10 of 12 reagents are above 52% in AGREEMENT. Regarding the Organized Relationship factor, most of the responses are above 75% in AGREEMENT. For the Context Diagnosis factor, it is evident that no reagent reaches 50% in AGREEMENT. In relation to the Student Participation factor, it stands out that the reagents are above 76% in AGREEMENT. CONCLUSION. Nursing students mainly show their satisfaction with the evaluation activities of their subjects, with the organized relationship of their teachers and for their own participation in the learning process. On the contrary, their dissatisfaction is due to the lack of online interaction and because teachers do not consult them about their personal and working conditions for their learning with the virtual modality in pandemic.
