“…11 Another study done in Nepal among 513 students during the COVID-19 pandemic showed 396(77%) students had a positive perception of online learning. 12 A study conducted in Egypt, among 350 students before the COVID-19 pandemic showed that 327(93.4%) students had satisfaction towards online learning 13 , Though, positive perception of nursing students in this study is not as high as other studies conducted in different countries, it might be alternative teaching-learning methods to continue online learning as a part of the nursing school teaching-learning curriculum beyond the COVID-19 pandemic situation.…”

Introduction: During COVID-19 pandemic, many academic institutions in Nepal and the world turned to online learning. The present study aimed to explore nursing students’ perception towards online learning. Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to identify the perception of nursing students towards online learning in School of Nursing and Midwifery, Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS), Lalitpur, Nepal during October 2020. A total enumerative sampling technique was used to collect data. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of PAHS. Data were collected using a self-developed structured questionnaire via Google form. The collected data were entered into SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard division) and Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. Result: Out of 348 nursing students, it was found that 186(53.4%) of the nursing students had positive perception and 162(46.6%) of the students had negative perceptions towards online learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The perception was associated with the academic year, access to the internet, need for use of mobile data, and academic level. Conclusion: The overall perception of nursing students is not satisfactory towards online learning. Academic institution should plan the online learning giving the priorities on the factors associated with negative perception so that students can learn effectively through virtual.

“…It is therefore important to assess the usability of online learning methods, and to determine their feasibility and adequacy for medical students [9]. Many studies actually demonstrates the positive attitude of medical students of developed or under developed countries towards online learning [10][11][12]. Anatomists have therefore been challenged to unbolt technology in attempt to attain best deliverables for their discipline, without the use of traditional teaching aids such as the cadaver, osteological specimens, prosected specimens, models, and microscopic slides and shifted the methods to electronic based [13,14].…”

“…Other living areas could also limit internet access, considering participants in this study were spread all over the country. This could spend more mental effort with no significant information acquired on the related modules, thus affecting students’ self-efficacy [ 35 ]. It was also found that self-efficacy correlates to students’ knowledge [ 36 ].…”

Background Social restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have shifted most learning methods into online courses, especially for medical skills education. However, the effects of online courses on medical skill education amongst medical students are still arguable. The study aims to analyse medical students’ knowledge, attitude, practice and satisfaction towards medical skills between online and offline courses. Method We performed a case–control study conducted among 533 medical students with online (as a case group, n = 288) and offline courses (as a control group, n = 245). We evaluated three fundamental medical skills, including history taking [HT], lung physical examination [LPE], and heart physical examination [HPE]. We tested the knowledge and skills among students through theory and practical examinations. Students’ attitudes and satisfaction were assessed using a validated questionnaire. Results The scores for knowledge and practical skills among the online group were significantly higher ( p = 0.016, p = 0.004, respectively). In comparison, the scores for the students’ attitudes and satisfaction were substantially lower ( p = 0.000, p = 0.003, respectively) compared to the control group. Most of the students in both groups passed the exam (case vs. control = 81.94%; 83.27%, respectively). Males were the only factor associated with a higher rate of passing the examination (OR 0.42, 95% CI [0.27–0.67], p = 0.000). Conclusions Online learning could be an alternative approach on improving student’s knowledge and practice towards medical skill especially amidst COVID-19 pandemic, however further consideration on student’s attitude and satisfaction are mandatory to achieve appropriate competence as future general practitioner.
