Abstract

Background

Blended learning is increasingly gaining popularity as an alternative method for delivering nursing education; however, there is no review regarding its acceptance or satisfaction among undergraduate nursing students.

Objective

This systematic review aims to thoroughly explore and summarize the literature regarding the acceptance or satisfaction of blended learning among undergraduate nursing students.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive search of EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus for English-language publications up to June 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data.

Results

The search strategy identified 710 potentially relevant articles, from which 27 studies were ultimately included. Our findings underscore a scarcity of high-quality questionnaires assessing students' acceptance or satisfaction with blended learning. Notably, undergraduate nursing students generally express high satisfaction with blended learning. Factors influencing their acceptance or satisfaction include online platform browsing speed, teachers' abilities and instructional styles, preparation efforts, and students' information and communication technology skills.

Conclusion

Blended education holds promise as a future teaching method in nursing education, given its positive reception among undergraduate nursing students. However, this review emphasizes a significant issue: the insufficient availability of high-quality questionnaires to assess this population's acceptance or satisfaction with blended learning. Addressing this gap through further research is essential to enhance our understanding and ensure the effective implementation of blended learning in nursing education.
