A survey of E-learning methods in nursing and medical education during COVID-19 pandemic in India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated mandatory e-learning in medical and nursing education. How far are developing countries like India (with wide socioeconomic and cultural diversity) geared up for this challenge remains unexplored. At this critical juncture, we aim to evaluate if online teaching methods are as feasible, acceptable, and effective as in-class teaching for medical/nursing students.

Objectives

The questionnaire captured: (1) practicability/feasibility of online classes, (2) health issues from online classes, (3) current methods for e-teaching, and (4) student attitudes and preferences.

Design

Cross-sectional survey.

Settings

Population-based study in India.

Participants

Nursing and medical undergraduate students (I-IV year).
