Abstract

Background: With today's complex needs of the population and high demands in quality of care, there will be a continuing need for expanding role of nurses to assume more responsibilities in healthcare. Newly graduated nurses, who possess the competence to function as Registered Nurses, will soon recognize that lecture-based, passive delivery of content is not sufficient to deal with the complex healthcare environment.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of a blended video watching and peer learning program and the usual lecture-based program on the levels of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning, perceptions of peer learning, and academic performance of students enrolled in a master's nursing program.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted. The program was offered to Master of Science in Nursing students during Spring 2021 (intervention group, n = 46), while the usual face-to-face lectures and tutorial classes were provided to students enrolled during Fall 2020 (control group, n = 46).

Results: There was a statistically significant increase in satisfaction, self-confidence in learning, and academic performance in the intervention group after learning in a blended video-watching and peer learning mode.

Conclusion: This study fills a knowledge gap to meet the learning needs of time-conscious, part-time students working full time in hospitals.
