Objective: Social media applications, such as WhatsApp, are widely used as teaching methods in many higher education institutions and have been shown to enhance student learning and motivation. It is believed that education supported by the WhatsApp application, which is easily accessible to university students via their phones, can positively influence students’ knowledge levels in electrocardiography (ECG) training. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of WhatsApp-assisted ECG training on students’ knowledge levels.Methods: This semi-randomized controlled study involved third-year nursing students enrolled in the elective Intensive Care Nursing course during the spring semester of 2022-2023. The study was conducted in the Nursing Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences at a university in the Western Black Sea region of Türkiye. After providing ECG information through online education, a pretest was administered. Following the pretest, ECG rhythm analysis videos, pictures, and links to ECG games and quiz websites were shared via WhatsApp for one week. A posttest was conducted after the one-week intervention.Results: While there was an average difference in students’ knowledge levels before and after the WhatsApp-assisted ECG training, this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: As the average knowledge score of students increased after WhatsApp-assisted training, it may be beneficial to expand the use of web-based education approaches in the curriculum. |
