Abstract
Background: A mobile application is a small piece of software that is easy to use and can be carried anywhere which makes it possible to access required information at anytime and anywhere. Educators therefore, began to use it as instructional material. It was then found that students were satisfied with the use of mobile applications as a tool for their learning.
Objectives: The objectives were 1) to compare the effects of instruction on the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system between before and after instruction with a mobile application-based instruction and traditional instruction methods, and 2) to compare the effects of instruction on the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system between a mobile application-based instruction and traditional instruction methods.
Methods: A pre-post-test true experimental research approach was conducted. The sample consisted of 60 4th year nursing students from Phrapokklao Nursing College, Chanthaburi. The experimental equipment consisted of a mobile application for the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system. Data collection tools consisted of a differential diagnostic test for abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system and a performance evaluation form of differential diagnosis. Statistics used for data analysis included Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: The effects of instruction using a mobile application compared with a traditional instruction on the differential diagnosis performance of abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system among nursing students were not different.
Conclusions: The mobile application can be used as an alternate instruction material for learning of a differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in the gastrointestinal system among nursing students.
