Abstract

Background: The global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led many institutions and universities around the world to bring about a sudden shift to virtual education to continue their educational activities. Objectives: This study aimed to explain the challenges of the sudden shift to asynchronous virtual education in nursing education throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted during 2020, on nursing faculty members and undergraduate nursing students in the Urmia School of Nursing and Midwifery, Iran. A total of 12 faculty members and 8 students were enrolled in the study using purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured face-to-face interviews and then analyzed through the content analysis method. Results: Participants identified “inappropriate groundwork” and “low inclination to virtual education” as the main challenges of the sudden shift to asynchronous e-learning in nursing education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The authorities of nursing schools should provide the appropriate groundwork for virtual education by the provision and upgrading of the required hardware and software, teaching how to use the facilities, and developing standard protocols for virtual education.

COVID-19大流行期间护理教育突然转向异步虚拟教育的挑战:一项定性研究

背景:新冠肺炎大流行引发的全球卫生危机，导致世界各地许多机构和大学突然转向虚拟教育，以继续开展教育活动。目的:本研究旨在解释在COVID-19大流行期间护理教育突然转向异步虚拟教育的挑战。方法:于2020年对伊朗乌尔米娅护理与助产学院的护理教师和本科护理学生进行定性研究。采用有目的抽样的方法，共有12名教师和8名学生参加了研究。采用半结构化的面对面访谈法收集数据，并通过内容分析法进行分析。结果:参与者认为，在COVID-19大流行期间，护理教育突然转向异步电子学习的主要挑战是“不适当的基础”和“对虚拟教育的倾向较低”。结论:护理学校主管部门应通过提供和升级所需的硬件和软件，教授如何使用这些设施，制定虚拟教育的标准协议，为虚拟教育提供适当的基础。
