Online teaching during Covid-19 pandemic: attitudes of Croatian nursing students

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the attitude of nursing students towards online teaching during the pandemic Covid-19. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Methods: The sample included full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students of nursing in the Republic of Croatia. The research was conducted using an online method with a questionnaire to measure studentsʼ attitudes towards the learning process through online teaching. Results: The largest number of participants (58.66%) expressed a moderate attitude towards online teaching ; two participants (0.96 %) expressed a negative attitude towards online teaching ; while 84 (40.38%) had a highly positive attitude towards online teaching. The findings indicated a significant difference in attitude towards online teaching with regard to student status (full-time / part-time) (p = 0.003), students’ conditions for monitoring online teaching (p = 0.003), and their beliefs and expectations (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Nursing students tended to express a moderate attitude towards online teaching. Most students would prefer combined classes and believe that conducting online classes only during the Covid- 19 pandemic would reduce the amount of specific knowledge they would acquire during their studies.
