Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has considerably imposed extensive effects on all sectors worldwide, especially nursing education. So, the online learning has become an accessible solution to complete either the academic or other training courses. Investigate the effect of implementing telenursing in promoting pediatric nurses’ knowledge regarding covid 19 and delta variant pandemic. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study design was used to accomplish the study. Eighty nurses from four pediatric hospitals were involved. A digital questionnaire regarding pediatric nurses’ knowledge about COVID-19 and the delta variant pandemic was developed and used to test nurses’ knowledge. A pretest using the digital questionnaire was done for all nurses before conducting the online educational sessions. Three online educational sessions were conducted using the Zoom platform. Two posttests using the digital questionnaire were done immediately after finishing the three educational sessions and one month later. Most nurses failed to select the correct answer in the pretest, and only 2.5% of them got a good score. In contrast, nearly 75% of nurses choose the correct answer and get excellent scores immediately after the educational sessions.
