Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to investigate the effects of the blended learning program on nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and performance in community health nursing from March 7 to April 1, 2022. The instrument was 1) a community health nursing practice knowledge test, 2) student attitudes towards community health nursing practice, 3) self-efficacy in community health nursing practice, 4) a community health nursing practice assessment form, 5) a questionnaire about the opinions of students and teachers towards the program, and
6) the blended learning program for nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and performance of Community Health Nursing, Srisavarindhira Thai Red Cross Institute of Nursing. The instrument was verified the content validity by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was at a good level. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests.

The results showed that nursing students had average scores of knowledge, self-efficacy in community health nursing practice, and performance in community health nursing, which were higher than before joining this program and statistically significant at .05.

The blended learning program was able to increase knowledge, self-efficacy, and performance in community health nursing practice. Thus, this learning design can be an alternative to be applied to teaching and learning nursing practice in the new normal era.
