Objective:
The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effects of blended learning on nursing students' knowledge, skills and satisfaction.
Methods:
We searched EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library for publications in English up to December 2018. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data. Meta-analysis was performed with Revman5.0 for the eligible studies.
Results:
A total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis, including 574 nursing students. Compared with traditional teaching, blended learning could effectively improve nursing students' knowledge (SMD = 0.70, 95% CI [0.52, 0.87], P < 0.00001) and satisfaction (SMD = 0.72, 95% CI [0.08, 0.59], P = 0.01), and tended to improve the skills although without significant difference (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI [-0.17, 1.32], P = 0.13).
Conclusions:
Blended learning can effectively improve the knowledge and satisfaction of nursing students. Therefore, blended learning can be used as a teaching method in nursing education.

Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
