Item Restricted Explore the experiences of student nurses with online learning within nursing education.(Queen's University Belfast, 2024-10) Alzaid, Mohammed; McMeel, AilishBackground The integration of online learning in nursing education has reshaped how theoretical knowledge is delivered. Traditionally dependent on face-to-face instruction and practical clinical experiences, the transition to digital platforms has introduced both opportunities and challenges for student nurses. Understanding these experiences is critical for refining educational practices and ensuring students are well-prepared for their future roles in healthcare. Objectives This project aimed to explore student nurses’ experiences with online learning within nursing education. Specifically, it sought to identify key themes in their perceptions, evaluate the benefits and challenges they faced, and offer insights that could inform future educational strategies. Search Strategy A comprehensive search was conducted across three databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and MEDLINE. The project focused on studies published in English from 2018 to 2024, examining the experiences of nursing students engaged in online learning. Studies unrelated to nursing education or focused on broader aspects of distance learning were excluded. Results The analysis revealed several key themes, including technological challenges, a lack of hands-on clinical experience, flexibility and convenience, and the impact of online learning on students' satisfaction and academic relationships. The project highlighted a mix of positive and negative experiences, with flexibility being highly valued, while the absence of practical training raised concerns about students' preparedness for real-world clinical practice. Conclusion The findings suggest that while online learning offers significant flexibility, it cannot fully replace the practical components essential to nursing education. Addressing technological barriers, integrating more hands-on experiences, and offering blended learning models are necessary to ensure that nursing students are adequately supported and equipped for their future careers. Educational institutions must continue to adapt and innovate to provide comprehensive learning experiences that balance both online and in-person instruction8 0Item Restricted Effect of Covid 19 on Cyberspace(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-10-01) Almutairi, Abdulaziz; Adda, MoIn addition to altering the world's physical appearance, the COVID-19 epidemic has hastened the world's transition to a fully digital society. With an emphasis on remote work, online education, and electronic communication, this thesis explores the far-reaching effects of the pandemic on global technology use, cybersecurity threats, and government policy. This study used a mixed-methods strategy to investigate these effects in depth. A comprehensive international survey was carried out to collect information from people, organisations, and governments in many parts of the world. The results show that people have shifted dramatically towards remote employment, online schooling, and virtual communication due to the pandemic. Cybersecurity challenges, such as increased cyber-attacks, data breaches, and vulnerabilities associated with remote work settings, have increased with digital transformation. To variable degrees of effectiveness, governments and organisations have made steps to reduce these dangers. The research provides guidelines for improving cybersecurity, including risk assessments, developing incident response plans, providing enough employee training, and using cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence and blockchain.35 0
