The effect of WhatsApp-based training on nurses' genetic knowledge levels and awareness in Turkey: A quasi-experimental study
Background
Genetics plays an important role in healthcare, and it is crucial for nurses to have a good understanding of this field. However, studies have shown that nurses often lack genetic knowledge and awareness. Furthermore, innovative educational approaches, such as WhatsApp-based education, have been proposed to address this knowledge gap, unlike traditional educational methods. These approaches use technology and interactive platforms to engage nurses in dynamic and immersive learning experiences.
Aim
This study aimed to examine the impact of WhatsApp-based training on nurses' genetic knowledge levels and awareness.
Method
A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design was used. A total of 121 registered nurses participated in a WhatsApp-based training program comprising presentations on genetic issues. Data were collected using Genetics and Genomics in Nursing Practice Survey. Values, means, percentage frequency distributions, and paired-sample t-tests were used.
Results
In the pre-training period, the mean knowledge score of the nurse group was found to be 3.31 ± 1.30 in the pre-training period and 9.58 ± 1.73 in the post-training period. The applied WhatsApp-based training was found to have an effect size of 0.752 on the GGNPS (Genetics and Genomics in Nursing Practice Survey) knowledge score of the sample group (F = 374.882, p = 0.000). In the post-training period, there were significant increases in all the GGNPS items.
Conclusion
WhatsApp-based educational programs have the potential to improve nurses' genetic knowledge and awareness. To fulfill the expanding needs of the nursing profession and to enhance patient care outcomes, this study emphasizes the importance of incorporating innovative educational tools into nursing education.
