The Effect of Web-Based Nursing Process Teaching on Senior Nursing Students' Care Planning Skills.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of web-based nursing process teaching on senior nursing students' care plan preparation skills.

Methods: Pretest-posttest intervention design was used. A total of 131 senior nursing students were evaluated for 5 weeks. Data were collected using a datasheet, a nursing care plan (pretest-posttest), and a self-efficacy form.

Findings: The intervention group had significantly higher data collection, planning stage scores, and a total care plan score than the others. The intervention group was competent in all self-efficacy items, except the one concerning prioritizing nursing diagnoses.

Conclusions: Web-based nursing process teaching offered with the curriculum helps students to develop care planning skills.

Implications For Nursing Practice: It is necessary to focus on different teaching methods and using standardized terminology in teaching the nursing process.
