The Effect of Web-based Education on Psychomotor Skills Education in Nursing

May 3, 2024 updated by: Hakime Aslan, Inonu University

The Effect of Web-based Education on Psychomotor Skills Education in Nursing; Randomized Controlled Experimental Trial

Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of web-based education on psychomotor skills teaching and information levels in nursing students.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The universe of the research consisted of first-year students of the nursing department of a university. The sample of the study consisted of 90 students, experimental and control group. At the beginning of the study, the drug administration course was explained theoretically to all students. Psychomotor skill teaching was demonstrated to both groups in the laboratory with demonstration technique. Then, pre-test data were collected. Students in the experimental group were given a link to the web page where they could watch the clinical knowledge and skills teaching video and a user profile was created. The students had the opportunity to watch and repeat the training videos and lecture notes as much as they wanted for two weeks. In the last stage, the knowledge and skill level of both groups was measured again and post-test data were collected. In order to collect data, intravenous-intramuscular injection skill checklists and drug administration knowledge tests created by the researchers were used.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In today's conditions, depending on the developments in computer and technology, it is inevitable to utilise internet technologies in teaching environments. At this point, Web Based Education (WBE) applications emerged with the use of internet technologies. Many education institutions, especially at higher education level, continue to carry out serious research and development studies in this field as well as realising WBE applications. It was observed that the knowledge level of first-year nursing students about drug applications, intramuscular injection and intravenous catheter insertion skills can be improved with web-based education.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Students who volunteered to participate in the research,
  • who took the nursing basics course for the first time,
  • who did not graduate from a health vocational high school or any associate or undergraduate degree related to health departments,
  • who had internet access,
  • who had a smart phone or computer were included in the study.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Web Based Group
For 2 weeks, a web-based education intervention was implemented.
Behavioral: Web based education
The link to the web page was shared with the students in the experimental group (https://inonuhemsirelikesaslari.com, the expired page cannot be accessed at the moment). Theoretical training and application process steps video for IV catheterization and IM injection skills were taken to the students in the experimental group and uploaded to the web page. The students in the experimental group were given a username-password with which they could access the web page, and the access status of the students was followed by the researcher. The researcher was able to see the frequency of each student watching the videos and their scores in online tests. The student who did not watch the videos or did not take the test was interviewed and feedback was given about watching them. Students were able to access the web page as often as they wanted for two weeks.
No Intervention: Control Group
No intervention was applied to the students in the control group.
