Abstract
This qualitative research aimed to study the outcomes of technology-based learning in enhancing digital health competencies among nursing students. The study followed the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) quality cycle framework. The key informants were purposefully selected, consisting of 95 second-year nursing students from Asia Graduate College, enrolled in the "Digital Nursing" course during the 2023 academic year. Data were collected through focus group discussions, and the reliability of the data was verified using triangulation methods, including cross-checking data sources, reviewing information, confirming data with key informants, and employing various data collection methods. The data were analyzed using content analysis and summarized into inductive themes.
The findings reveal that students expressed their perspectives on the need for technology-based learning, reflecting four key competencies identified by the nursing students: 1) Digital nursing knowledge must be contemporary, 2) Digital skills should be practical and technology-oriented, 3) Digital competency assessment and real-world learning, and 4) Positive attitudes toward the development of digital competencies, where learners must have a favorable outlook on technology.
