Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an online learning program called “rational use of drugs for nursing students”. The sample consisted of 155 third-year nursing students from the Faculty of Nursing at Burapha University. This study was conducted from February 2022 to April 2023. The research instruments were two assessment forms to evaluate the quality of online teaching and satisfaction with the use  online lessons. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 1) the online courses define learning units RDU, RDU to case study, case study and knowledge integration RDU with 10 hours of the learning time. Students must have a total score of at least 60% to be considered qualified. 2) Overall quality and factors related to the quality of online courses were ranked at the highest level (M = 4.52, SD=.37, and M = 4.62, SD=.48), followed by outcomes and process quality (M = 4.37, SD=.46, and M = 4.09, SD=.53, respectively). Students were very satisfied with all the five aspects of the online learning program. This online course aids the preparation of healthcare professional students during their internship period in clinical practice. This may also guide the professional nurses in conducting further research in the promotion of rational drug use.
