Abstract: (154 Views)
Background: The increasing reliance on technology in various fields has prompted the exploration of smartphone-based learning as a viable educational tool, particularly in the healthcare sector. Given the significant challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, enhancing nurses' readiness to respond to disasters and health crises effectively has become more critical than ever. This study aims to evaluate the effects of smartphone-based learning on the knowledge, attitude and perception of nurses regarding disaster preparedness.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in June–September 2020 using a pretest- posttest control group design in urban hospitals of Falavarjan City-Iran. All 204 eligible nurses in the study settings were recruited and randomly allocated to either a control (n=102) or an intervention (n=102) group. An educational android app was designed and provided to the intervention group for one month. The subjects completed the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) and the Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire (DPQ) before and one month after the onset of the intervention. The data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequencies, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (ANOVA, independent t-test, paired t-test, and chi-square test). The analysis utilized SPSS software version 22, and a significance level of 0.05 was considered for all statistical tests.
Results: There were no significant differences between the groups regarding the pretest mean scores of disaster preparedness knowledge, attitude, and perception. No significant difference was also seen in the posttest mean score of disaster preparedness knowledge and attitude (P=0.20). However, the posttest mean score of disaster preparedness perception in the intervention group was greater than the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Smartphone-based learning can be used to promote nurses’ disaster preparedness perception, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
