This study shows computer-based learning effectively improved nurses' computer skills and knowledge. Criterion-referenced testing demonstrated significant gains in essential computer operations and terminology for nursing professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Health Informatics
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Computer literacy is crucial for modern healthcare professionals.
  • Traditional training methods may not adequately prepare nurses for digital health tools.
  • Experiential learning offers a hands-on approach to skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a computer-based experiential learning program for nurses.
  • To assess the effectiveness of criterion-referenced testing in measuring learning outcomes.
  • To determine the impact of the program on nurses' basic computer operation skills and knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • A case study involving 138 nurses participating in a computer simulation.
  • Quantitative evaluation using criterion-referenced testing to measure performance.

  • Data collected included time to complete tasks, unsuccessful attempts, and correct responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in "drag and drop" ability (from <20% to >90%, p < .05).
    • Increased knowledge of computer terms (from 65% to 80%, p < .1).
    • High participant satisfaction (82% enjoyment) and demand for more computer-based training (89%).

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-based experiential learning, evaluated with criterion-referenced testing, is effective for nursing education.
    • The program significantly enhanced nurses' practical computer skills and understanding of terminology.
    • Criterion-referenced testing provides valuable insights into the efficacy of computer-aided instructional systems in healthcare.
