Development and implementation of a nursing informatics course
Objective To develop an interdisciplinary nursing informatics course and apply project-based learning to enhance informa-tion skills among undergraduate students.Methods A total of 48 undergraduate students were divided into an intervention group and a control group,each consisting of 24 students.The intervention group received an interdisciplinary course structure with inte-grated online modules,enabling a blended online-offline,project-based learning experience.A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate the course's effectiveness.Results After the course,computer attitude scores in the intervention group were significant-ly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Interviews with selected students from the intervention group indicated that the course deepened their understanding of nursing informatics and interdisciplinary research and improved their ability to use infor-mation technology to solve nursing challenges.Conclusion Project-based learning in nursing informatics can enhance students'atti-tudes toward information technology use and strengthen their practical skills.
