Summary
Nursing students perceive technology as useful and easy to use, supporting its integration into the nursing curriculum. This study highlights the importance of technology acceptance in nursing education for effective learning experiences.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Technology is essential in nursing practice, necessitating its integration into nursing curricula.
- Nursing schools are adopting technology to enhance active and meaningful learning.
- Understanding student perceptions is crucial for effective technology integration in pedagogy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing students' perceptions of technology usefulness and ease of use.
- To explore factors influencing the intention to use technology in nursing education.
- To support nurse educators in integrating technology into teaching.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
- Collected quantitative and qualitative data from 375 baccalaureate nursing students.
- Assessed perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of technology in nursing school.
Main Results:
- Nearly all students (99.7%) owned smartphones.
- A high percentage of students (95%) were comfortable using various technologies.
- Students generally perceived technology as useful and easy to use in their nursing program.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students are generally receptive to technology in their education.
- Successful integration of technology requires careful selection of tools to support learning.
- Addressing external influences on technology adoption is key for nurse educators.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

2.6K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.5K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
