Orientation Training Mobile Support Application for Nursing Students

Development of the Orientation Training Mobile Support Application and Its Effect on the Anxiety Level and Patient Safety Attitude Of Student Nurses: Pre Test After Test Randomized Controlled Study

Mobile health (mHealth) applications are shifting mobile phone technology from the simple function of text messaging to a dynamic, interactive, and social environment that includes verbal, audio, and visual messages. The widespread adoption of mobile phones and smartphones offers a promising opportunity for health promotion. The use of modern mobile technology (phone calls and texts, videos, internet and smartphone applications) is becoming increasingly popular in the healthcare field and is used to inform and guide patients in a variety of chronic diseases. The number of mobile phone subscribers worldwide is approximately five billion. In low- and middle-income countries, the spread of mobile phones is occurring faster than other infrastructure developments. In low- and middle-income countries, mobile information technology interventions are considered complementary approaches to deliver health-related information.

In line with the contemporary education approach, nursing students' clinical stress and anxiety must be taken under control by making student-centered arrangements in education, strengthening students' perception of the profession, and creating appropriate learning environments. It is important to adapt mobile support application models compatible with the national health system at institutional and national levels in the planning of education and training due to reasons such as the excitement, anxiety and fear that students feel before clinical practice, and the inadequacy in the number of instructors and nurses. Clinical stress and anxiety of nursing students should be taken under control by making student-centered arrangements in education in line with the contemporary education approach, strengthening students' perception of the profession, and creating appropriate learning environments. It is important to adapt mobile support application models compatible with the national health system at institutional and national levels in the planning of education and training due to reasons such as the excitement, anxiety and fear that students feel before clinical practice, and the inadequacy in the number of instructors and nurses.
