The study on the experiences of undergraduate nursing students during their first uses of online learning revealed challenges such as helplessness, burdens, and burnout, as well as the need for social and technical support. Despite some positive attitudes towards online learning, there were also concerns about deficiencies in fulfilling educational outcomes of clinical courses.
Background: The unprecedented abrupt shift to remote online learning (OL) within the context of the national lockdown due to the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) highlights the importance of addressing students? preparedness in managing their first experiences with OL. Purpose: To investigate the experiences of undergraduate nursing students during their first uses of OL to increase the understanding of their encountered opportunities and challenges. Design: A descriptive qualitative design guided by a phenomenological approach was used. Methods: The study used a purposive sampling technique to recruit 18 undergraduate nursing students from two universities. Data were collected using two focus group discussions, and the discussions with participants were audio/video recorded through the online platform Zoom due to the national imposed curfew. Content analysis employed Colaizzi?s steps to derive the themes/categories. Results: The study revealed four themes: experience of helplessness, burdens, and burnout; the need for social and technical support to manage OL; the propensity to consider OL as a positive opportunity; and the deficiency of OL in fulfilling the educational outcomes of clinical courses. Conclusions: Abrupt remote OL was a challenge to clinical encounters. This format was very stressful; however, it was also useful. The current study highlighted the need for further research on the effectiveness of remote OL platforms in regard to the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of clinical courses.
