Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Educational Materials (EMs) are vital in teaching and learning activities and contribute significantly to the acquisition of knowledge and skills for an enhanced performance. The right educational resources help stimulate, reinforce and make it more impact and beneficial. AIM: This study’s main goal is to identify the learning materials that are used regularly in nursing training schools and analyze the experiences of nurse trainees on their impact on the achievement of academic objectives. And to guide stakeholders in nursing education policy formulation. SETTING: This study was conducted in four (4) Nursing and Midwifery Training institutions in Ghana. Methods: A descriptive method was used for this study. An online survey was used to collect data from 47 nurse educators and 374 student nurses and analyzed using Stata version 16.0. The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's Committee on Human Research, Publication, and Ethics (CHRPE) was consulted for ethical approval. Results: The common available EMs were handouts (80.1%), recommended textbooks (55.9%), and smartphones (54.6%). The EMs that were commonly used by students were the handout (58.6%), recommended textbooks (39.6%), and both internet information and PowerPoint slides (18.8%) each. Majority of the students (64.1%) reported that the commonly used EMs made good contributions towards their academic performance and 22.6% indicated that the used EMs made excellent contributions to their academic performance. Example e-books has OR of 0.43 and a p-value of 0.021. Conclusion: Modern Ems such as reliable internet access, 3D animation videos should be made readily available in schools to greatly help to improve the standards of nursing education and contribute to quality healthcare workforce. Contributions: Educational materials plays a vital role in health trainees’ education, increases nurses knowledge, and output on health care delivery

与教材相关的挑战和益处：加纳受训护士的经验。

摘要背景：教育材料（EMs）在教学活动中至关重要，对获取知识和技能以提高成绩大有裨益。正确的教育资源有助于激发、强化和提高教学效果和效益。目的：本研究的主要目的是确定护理培训学校经常使用的学习材料，并分析受训护士对这些材料对实现学术目标的影响的经验。并为利益相关者制定护理教育政策提供指导。环境：本研究在加纳的四（4）所护理和助产培训机构进行。方法：本研究采用描述性方法。通过在线调查收集了 47 名护士教育者和 374 名护士学生的数据，并使用 Stata 16.0 版本进行了分析。本研究获得了夸梅-恩克鲁玛科技大学人类研究、出版和伦理委员会（CHRPE）的伦理批准。研究结果常用的教育管理软件有讲义（80.1%）、推荐教科书（55.9%）和智能手机（54.6%）。学生常用的教育多媒体包括讲义（58.6%）、推荐课本（39.6%）以及互联网信息和幻灯片（各占 18.8%）。大部分學生（64.1%）表示常用的電子教材對他們的學業成績有良好的貢獻，22.6%表示常用的電子教材對他們的學業成績有卓越的貢獻。电子图书实例的 OR 值为 0.43，P 值为 0.021：现代教育资源，如可靠的互联网接入、三维动画视频等，应在学校中普及，这将大大有助于提高护理教育水平，并为培养高素质的医护人员做出贡献。贡献：教材在卫生学员的教育中发挥着重要作用，增加了护士的知识，提高了卫生保健服务的产出。
