Abstract
Computer-assisted instruction is an alternative way of learning management to prepare nurse students’ readiness for nursing practice. This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effects of computer-assisted instruction on oxygen therapy in children. The content was developed according to Bandura's self-efficacy theory, and computer lessons were created according to Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning. The participants consisted of 88 nursing students who met the inclusion criteria and were randomly selected. These students were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group of 44 students. The experimental group received the computer-assisted instruction program, while self-study from documents and textbooks was used in the control group. Data were collected by using a questionnaire to assess demographic information, and tests were also used to examine knowledge and skills about oxygen therapy in children. The data were collected three times: prior to the intervention, immediately, and 5 weeks after the intervention. Descriptive statistics, one-way repeated measure ANOVA, the Friedman test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data and test research hypotheses. The results indicated that there were no differences in knowledge and skills regarding oxygen therapy in children at baseline between the two groups (p>.05). After implementing computer-assisted instruction, knowledge and skills scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p<.05), both immediately and 5 weeks later. Thus, it can be concluded that computer-assisted instruction effectively improves knowledge and skills regarding oxygen therapy in children among nursing students. Therefore, other lessons may be developed based on the concept of computer-assisted instruction to enhance learning outcomes for the Bachelor of Nursing Science students.
