Abstract

Aim

This study utilised a quasi-experimental design to examine the effect of the 3D MedSim Intravenous (IV) Catheterisation e-learning application on the knowledge of peripheral intravenous catheterisation (PIVC) among first-year nursing students.

Method

The study employed a two-group design, comprising a control group (n=34) and an intervention group (n=34). The control group received conventional educational methods, whereas the intervention group received traditional education supplemented with using an e-learning application. Data were gathered online via Google Forms, encompassing a questionnaire, achievement tests, and e-learning application exam scores.

Results

A statistically significant difference was observed between the mean pretest and posttest knowledge scores of students in the intervention group. Additionally, a statistically significant, moderate positive correlation was found between the application examination knowledge scores and both the pretest and posttest knowledge scores.

Conclusions

The IV catheterisation e-learning application has been proven to be an effective tool for increasing knowledge scores in the area of PIVC.

期刊介绍： Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN). The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues. Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription. ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
