Abstract :
Health professionals should always take standard
precautions and treat every patient as though they were
possibly contagious or susceptible to infection. The goal of
this study was to assess how well nursing students had
learned about standard precautions using e-learning.
The pre-test-post-test design with a quasiexperimental one-group (pre-test) sample size of 45
nursing students was used. The pre-test and post-test were
evaluated, and an E-Learning educational intervention
about standard precautions was given.
The mean knowledge score before the test was 15.24,
and the mean knowledge score after the test was 21.82;
the difference between the two, or the 't' value, between
the two scores (21.82), shows that there were significant
changes in knowledge (p<0.05). Age (3.15), income (7.85),
and source of knowledge (0.67) were not associated with
knowledge.
The findings indicated that the E-Learning
educational intervention increased nursing students'
understanding of standard precautions, which will allow
them to safeguard patients.
