Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to test if the e-learning activity that we developed could improve student nurses’ knowledge of continence and mobility and whether or not students would find the style of learning beneficial.
Methods
A quasi-experimental pre-post-test design was used to test if the continence and mobility e-learning activity could improve student nurses’ knowledge about assessing and managing the needs of continence and mobility. An 18-item true/false knowledge of continence quiz was completed by 116 student nurses and a Likert style feedback learning survey was completed by 135 nursing students.
Results
There was a statistically significant increase in students’ knowledge about continence and its relationship to mobility following the e-learning activity. The e-learning activity also enhanced students’ knowledge, confidence and perceptions about older people.
Conclusions
The e-learning activity we developed has the potential to improve nursing students’ knowledge about continence and mobility in an enjoyable manner.
