Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Aim: Computer-assisted learning provides students with the opportunity to access and reuse the material at any time and supports self-directed learning. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a web-based application for basic life support training on nursing students' perceived learning, knowledge, satisfaction and self-confidence. Material and methods: In the initial phase of the study, an application with basic life support was developed. Subsequently, students were divided into intervention and control groups, and the forms and scales used for data collection were administered as pre- and post-tests. In the qualitative phase, focus group discussions were conducted with 12 students who used the application, using a semi-structured interview form. Descriptive analysis was used for quantitative data and thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Results: Students using the application showed no significant difference between the knowledge, perceived learning, satisfaction and self- confidence scores, but all the scores of the intervention group were higher. Two themes were identified: (I) Gains from experiences, (II) Criticism and development of the application. Conclusion: It has been observed that web-based simulation application is a useful method in achieving learning outcomes in the cognitive domain and also positively affects psychomotor applications. In addition, it has been found that the application provides individual gains and positively affects learning experiences.
