An experimental study

Statement of the Problem:
Nursing practice and nursing education face many challenges nowadays. Shortages of resources
exist in the area of faculty, clinical educators, and clinical placements (Felix, Faro & Dias 2011). In recent decades, the use
of information and communication technologies (ICT) for educational purposes has increased (Abdelaziz M. et al, 2011;
Radović-Marković, M. 2010). Audio and video productions are used to enhance student-learning outcomes and increase
student satisfaction in higher education. Nursing care of children and their families course includes basic procedures that
are needed to provide safe nursing care of hospitalized children before starting the hospital clinical training. Recording all
procedures and downloaded in the blackboard system is considering. Evidence of how effective educational material delivered
to enhance undergraduate clinical practice through e-learning is lacking and empirical research is needed.
Aim:
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using videos in supporting undergraduate nursing students’ skills lab:
an experimental study.
Methodology:
The study was conducted at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Science – College of Nursing –
Jeddah. Fifty nine students who registered for Nursing Care of Children and Their Families course, fall semester, academic
year 2017-18 were included. An experimental design was used. Randomization was achieved by random selection of the
participants to be either in experimental or control group. The students of control group were observed the demonstration
of two procedures by Clinical Teaching Assistant (CTA) and they re-demonstrated. The students of experimental group were
asked to go to the computer lab and watching the videos of the same two procedures while keeping record about frequency of
watching the videos. The procedures were practiced as competency using procedure checklist by all students from both groups.
