Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of hybrid learning pedagogy in a redesigned diabetes nursing course for senior nursing students in enhancing knowledge and skills related to diabetes education.
Methods: A single-group pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design were used. The study was conducted between January-June 2018 in a state university's nursing department in Istanbul, Turkey. Sixteen senior nursing students were included in the sample group of the study.
Results: It was detected that the Insülin Injection Skill Checklist (II-SC) post-test score, Blood Glucose Measurement Skill Checklist (BGM-SC) post-test score, and Educational Skills Checklist (ESC) post-test score were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. There was a significant difference between the Mini Exams (ME) pre-test and post-test scores of participants for each online lesson.
Conclusions: The study results showed that a hybrid learning-based diabetes nursing course effectively increases the knowledge and skills of students regarding diabetes education.
