Abstract
Background: Virtual learning program is very important, in the nursing practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives: To identify the effectiveness of a virtual learning program on maternal-child and midwifery nursing competencies, learning achievement, attitude, and satisfaction among nursing students.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Participants were third-year nursing students: 30 students practicing in hospitals and 45 students participating in a virtual learning program. Data were collected using questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used, and differences between the means of the two groups were compared using an independent t-test, and categorical data were compared using a chi-square test.
Results: 1) The mean scores of students who practiced with virtual learning and those who practiced in the hospital were high (M=4.34, SD=0.42, and M=4.03, SD=0.53, respectively), with a significant difference (t = -2.698, p <.05). 2) Mean scores for learning success were higher than standard scores (70%). 3) The mean scores for attitude and satisfaction of students who learned only virtually were high in all items. (M=4.40, SD =0.06 and M=3.94, SD=1.22, respectively).
Conclusions: Virtual learning is one of the hybrid models that can be used as an alternative in critical situations where authentic learning is not possible. However, authentic learning can enhance maternal-child and midwifery nursing skills and competencies better than virtual learning.
