Abstract

Objectives: Nursing education is an indispensable part of becoming a nurse. For modern 21st century students, the traditional one-to-many teaching method is no longer applicable. Breaking away from the previous teaching method, using new technology and multimedia education combined with interactive e-books, not only improves the learners’ interest and motivation, but also presents the situation in a situational way, being in it. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of different teaching modes on improving nursing students’ knowledge and learning motivation of maternity nursing.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental design. Nursing students from a university of science and technology in southern Taiwan were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (e-book, n = 47 ), and control (face-to-face teaching, n = 47). Participants were asked to complete two structured questionnaires before, after, and two weeks after the study to assess their knowledge and motivation in maternity nursing.

Results: A total of 94 nursing students completed this study. Both teaching models can effectively improve subjects' knowledge. According to the research results, the maternity nursing knowledge post-test scores were higher than the pre-test in both the e-book group and the face-to-face group, and there was a significant difference (p<0.001). Maternity nursing knowledge " (p <0.001), and "ARCS Motivation" (p <0.05) than the control group. In terms of group and time effects maternity nursing knowledge showed significant differences in the first posttest (p < 0.01) and second posttest still showed significant differences (p <0.05).

Implications for practice: E-books can effectively enhance the motivation of nursing students to learn, including satisfaction, convenience, and outcome effectiveness. Abandoning the traditional textbook teaching mode and switching to a new learning mode, the results of the experimental group and the control group showed that nursing students who used the interactive e-book teaching mode were more able to connect the course content with clinical practice. In addition to improving the quality of student learning, it can also lay a good foundation for entering internships or clinical practice in the future.
