“…The results revealed that most students and educators prefer responding to online surveys to paper‐based questionnaires, supporting the feasibility of using online surveys in nursing research in Egypt. Previous studies involving nursing educators in Egypt achieved the same conclusion 17 . This may be explained by the merits of online surveys that they allow respondents' participation at their convenience—that is, they can respond where and when they prefer 16 .…”

“…This might be due to the familiarity of Egyptians with WhatsApp and other SNS long time before the pandemic and their unfamiliarity with other platforms. In a recent online survey of nursing educators in Egypt, Eltaybani et al 17 reported that Egyptians do not routinely use e‐mails and that some participants preferred receiving the survey link via SNS than by e‐mail. In South Africa, Mpungose 51 reported that during the COVID‐19 pandemic, students preferred social media sites (Facebook and WhatsApp) for communication, which universities did not officially adopt for e‐learning.…”

“…As per the latest published statistics, more than 50% of Egyptians are internet users 52 with more than 95 million mobile cellular subscriptions 53 . Eltaybani et al 17 reported the implementation of three measures to enhance the feasibility of online surveys: face‐to‐face recruitment of participants to increase their engagement, conducting a pilot study to identify and solve possible problems, and the adjunctive use of paper questionnaires to provide an equal chance for all potential participants to participate in the study; these measures were associated with a response rate of 86.4% among nursing educators in Egypt. Due to constraints imposed by COVID‐19, none of these measures were implemented in the current study, which may explain, in part, the current low response rate.…”

“…Advantages of online surveys include instant distribution, easy access, reduced costs, and ease of data entry 15,16 . A recent study 17 documented that online surveys are a feasible data collection method among nursing educators in Egypt. Nevertheless, the preferences of nursing students and educators for using online surveys are unknown.…”

Background: Nursing students' and educators' experiences with e‐learning during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic are unknown in most countries. Aim: To (1) describe and compare Egyptian nursing students' and educators' experiences with e‐learning during the COVID‐19 pandemic and (2) elicit participants' preferences for responding to online versus paper questionnaires. Methods: This is a cross‐sectional online survey of nursing students (undergraduate and postgraduate; n =580) and nursing educators (n = 95) in one faculty of nursing in Egypt. The survey assessed participants'characteristics, preferences for online versus paper surveys, and 11 dimensionsrelated to the e‐learning experience, such as perceived competency, satisfaction, cognitive presence, and the preferred platforms for e‐learning. Results: About 91% of students and 80% of educators received either no or inadequate training on e‐learning before the pandemic. Students' and educators' experiences significantly differed (p‐value < 0.001) in most of the examined dimensions, with educators having better experiences. About 71% of the students and 76% of the educators preferred responding to online surveys. The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT analysis) of e‐learning were mapped. Conclusion: Students are in more need of training on e‐learning than educators, and this training is a must before any attempt to undertake online exams. The online survey is a preferred methodology among Egyptian nursing educators and students. The provided SWOT analysis may help administrators best implement and support e‐learning during infection outbreaks.

Nursing Students’ Views of the Content of Palliative Care in Undergraduate Education and their Self-assessed Palliative Care Competence—A Nationwide Cross-sectional Study

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The importance of integrating palliative care (PC) education into undergraduate nursing studies has been recognized. Still, there is considerable variation in the PC education of nurses. Objective To study the nursing students’ views of the PC contents during the nursing education; students’ self-assessed levels of PC competence; and whether prior education or work experience influence these views. Methods A cross-sectional study. Data were collected using a questionnaire which was tested for its content and construct validity and internal consistency. The sample consisted of final-year undergraduate nursing students (n = 1331) from Finland. Results The response rate was 94%. Of the students, 94.4% considered PC education to be quite or very useful, but only 51.9% reported the achieved PC teaching as quite or very good. Teaching on mental symptoms, existential issues and multicultural aspects were considered incomplete. Over half of the students wanted more education on pharmacological- and non-pharmacological pain management. Students with previous education assessed their PC competence as quite or very good more often than other students (70.1% vs. 54%, P < .001), and more often felt that these competencies are relevant to their profession (72.2% vs. 57.6%, P < .001). Conclusion PC was considered as a useful subject, still only about half of the students reported the received PC education and their competence on PC as sufficient. Previous education or experience may enhance PC competence highlighting the need for divergent teaching. The results identify development needs for the contents of PC education in undergraduate nursing studies.
