The infiltration and extravasation prevalence were found to be high, but the interventions to address them were inadequate. Training and implementation strategies should be planned for pediatric nurses to prevent infiltration and extravasation.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of web-based teaching on paediatric nursing internship students' self-confidence and anxiety levels in the clinical decision-making process. The study sample consisted of 61 students who received internship training in the Pediatric Nursing department. There were 30 students in the control group and 31 students in the experimental group. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, and nursing anxiety and self-confidence levels were measured using a clinical decision-making scale. The data were analysed using a t test, a Mann-Whitney U test, a correlation analysis, and a regression analysis, along with power and effect size. The self-confidence scores of the experimental group were higher than the scores of the control group (p < 0.05), and the anxiety scores of the experimental group were lower than the scores of the control group (p < 0.05). The web-based training program accounted for 17.8% of the change in self-confidence and 12.8% of the change in anxiety level. Therefore, the web-based training program was effective in increasing nursing students' self-confidence levels and decreasing their anxiety levels in the clinical decision-making process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
