Abstract:
This study aims to explore the effects of hybrid learning approach on program learning
outcomes among nursing students of Bachelor of Nursing Science Program. Retrospective study was
applied. Secondary data gathering from a follow up study on nursing students competencies of the
Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani was analyzed. A total of 243 student
identification numbers who graduated between the academic year 2016 to 2019 were recruited.
Dependent variables were classified into 2 groups; 1) students who exposed the onsite learning and 2)
students who exposed the hybrid learning. Independent variables were the program learning outcome
scores which composed 6 domains, these were 1) ethical skill 2) knowledge 3) intellectual skill
4) interpersonal and responsible skill 5) numeric, communication and technological skill and 6)
nursing skill. The Cronbach alpha test was done from the recruited samples to explore reliability of
questionnaires. Each program learning outcome was analyzed and presented as median and quartile,
logistic regression was used to identify the association of hybrid learning and each program learning
outcome adjusted with confounding factors.
Results showed that the median score of each program learning outcomes was above 80
percent. There was no association between hybrid learning and knowledge, intellectual skill,
interpersonal and responsible skill, numeric, communication and technological skill and nursing skill.
However, hybrid learning was a risk factor of low achievement in the domain of ethical skill. Findings
indicated that hybrid learning was less effective in enhancing ethical skill of nursing students
compared to onsite learning, while there had not negatively affected to knowledge, intellectual skill,
interpersonal and responsible skill, numeric, communication and technological skill and nursing skill.
