Development and Effect of a Mobile Education Program for Nursing Students on High-Risk Infant
Purpose: This study, as presented by Kern, Thomas, and Hughes , aims to verify the effectiveness of clinical inference education through digital storytelling programs based on Smith and Mann’s (2002) mobile education model in accordance with the six stages of the medical course development model. Based on the mobile education model of Smith and Mann (2002), the effectiveness of clinical reasoning education is verified through the mobile education program. Method: A single group pre-post test design that evaluates the clinical reasoning education effects of the mobile education program was used. Results: A statistically significant improvement was observed in clinical inference capacity from before intervention (t=-9.81, p<0.001); there was also a greater difference in the average value after intervention than before intervention in all of the results. Conclusion: This study suggests that while scenarios were constructed around five cases of high-risk Infant with respiratory and mechanical problems, in the future, additional scenarios should be developed to include different body systems.
