Electronic Module (E-Module) as Innovative Learning Media to Increase Knowledge Among Nursing Students

Electronic modules (e-modules) as innovative learning media that can be accessed anytime and anywhere are promised to increase nursing students' knowledge. However, there are still limited studies that examine the effectiveness of E-modules and the effect of E-modules on increasing student knowledge. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-module on undergraduate nursing students' knowledge level. One group pre-posttest research design was conducted on 46 students recruited through purposive sampling. Respondents filled out the pretest, followed by studying the E-module material on spontaneous delivery compiled by maternity nursing experts for three reading periods in a week and working on a posttest questionnaire compiled by the researcher. Then the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of 0.05. Students' knowledge before giving the intervention was seen in the pretest results , with an average value of 72 and an increase in the average value in the posttest after the intervention was given to 97. So there was a significant effect of e-module as a learning medium on increasing student knowledge (p =0.00). The E Module has been proven to be effective in increasing knowledge. Still, nursing education and science continue to develop, so regular updating of the content of the e-module is needed and combining it with nursing moral values is essential because good moral attitudes are also the focus of nursing education.
