Authors

Abstract

Background: This study explores nursing students' perceptions of integrating eBooks into a post-licensure nursing curriculum.

Method: A quantitative, descriptive survey was conducted with 130 nursing students, predominantly white (88%) and female (88%). Participants were enrolled in Community Health Nursing (26%), Leadership and Management in Nursing (39%), or both (35%).

Results: The study revealed mixed perceptions of eBooks. About 50% found eBooks more accessible, and 70% considered them more current. However, 55% preferred print books for ease of use, and 68% for ease of reading.

Conclusion: While eBooks are valued for accessibility and currency, print books are preferred for usability and reading comfort. These findings suggest that educators should balance digital and print resources in curricula to meet students' diverse learning needs and improve educational outcomes.
