Summary
Egyptian nursing students and educators had different e-learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, with educators reporting better outcomes. Most participants preferred online surveys, highlighting a need for improved e-learning training for students.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Digital Learning
- Pandemic Response
Background:
- E-learning experiences of nursing students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic remain largely undocumented globally.
- This study addresses the knowledge gap regarding these experiences in Egypt.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the e-learning experiences of Egyptian nursing students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To determine participant preferences for online versus paper-based questionnaires.
- To identify key factors influencing e-learning effectiveness in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 580 nursing students and 95 nursing educators in Egypt.
- The survey assessed participant demographics, preferences for survey format, and 11 dimensions of the e-learning experience.
- A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of e-learning was performed.
Main Results:
- A significant majority (91% of students, 80% of educators) lacked adequate e-learning training pre-pandemic.
- Substantial differences (p < 0.001) were observed in e-learning experiences between students and educators, with educators reporting more positive outcomes.
- Online surveys were preferred by most participants (71% of students, 76% of educators).
Conclusions:
- Nursing students require more comprehensive e-learning training, particularly before online assessments.
- Online survey methodology is favored by Egyptian nursing students and educators.
- The SWOT analysis provides insights for administrators to optimize e-learning implementation during health crises.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

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,...

3.8K
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.

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.
