Özet:

 Objective: This descriptive study was conducted to determine the attitudes of nursing and midwifery students receiving distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic toward mobile learning. Methods: The population of this study comprised 618 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Nursing and Midwifery. There was no sample selection and research was completed with 237 students who volunteered to participate in the study. A Questionnaire Form and the Mobile Learning Attitude Scale MLAS were used to collect data. Results: The mean MLAS score of the female students was 5811.5 and the mean score of male students was 5816.0. There was no difference between the total scale and sub-scale scores concerning sex, age, department, and year of students p0.05. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students mostly used their smartphones to access the internet. The most significant advantage of M-learning was the ease of use and access; however, the disadvantage was that education was not efficient and effective. Moreover, the biggest difficulty experienced by students in M-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was internet access and the associated cost. The majority of students who participated in this study felt that M-learning did not affect their academic achievements but was not suitable for nursing and midwifery students. Conclusions: The attitudes of nursing and midwifery students toward M-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic were moderate.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde uzaktan eğitim alan hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin mobil öğrenmeye yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik ve Ebelik Bölümüne kayıtlı 1., 2., 3. ve 4. sınıfa devam eden 618 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş olup, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 237 öğrenci ile araştırma tamamlanmıştır. Veriler, Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Mobil Öğrenme Tutum Ölçeği MÖTÖ kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kız öğrencilerin toplam MÖTÖ puan ortalamasının 5811.5, erkek öğrencilerin puan ortalamasının 5816.0 olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin cinsiyet, yaş, okuduğu bölüm ve sınıfına göre MÖTÖ toplam puan ortalaması ve ölçek alt boyutları puan ortalamaları arasında fark olmadığı belirlenmiştir p0.05. COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde öğrencilerin internet erişimi için en fazla akıllı telefon kullandıkları, mobil öğrenmenin en büyük avantajının kullanım ve erişim kolaylığı olduğu, dezavantajının ise eğitimin verimli ve etkin olmaması olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde mobil öğrenmede yaşadığı en büyük güçlüğün ise internete erişim ve maliyet olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin çoğunluğu mobil öğrenmenin akademik başarılarını değiştirmediğini ancak hemşirelik ve ebelik bölümü öğrencileri için uygun olmadığını düşündükleri saptanmıştır. Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde hemşirelik ve ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin mobil öğrenmeye yönelik tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlendi.
