Implementation of a Validated Digital Competence E-Learning Program in Graduate Nursing Students

Digital competence is increasingly required for nursing graduates as health care systems integrate digital and technological systems. However, validated and scalable approaches to implementing digital competence education in nursing programs remain scarce. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and instructional responsiveness of the DigiNurse e-learning program for graduate nursing education. A multinational mixed-methods pilot study with a pre–post design was conducted among 30 graduate nursing students (postlicensure, practicing registered nurses) from Taiwan, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Participants completed 4 validated DigiNurse eLearning modules aligned with the Digital Competence Assessment Checklist. Feasibility indicators included recruitment, retention, adherence, usability, and acceptability. The findings showed that the feasibility criteria were fulfilled. Participants reported high usability and acceptability across multilingual contexts, with improvements observed across most digital competence items. DigiNurse demonstrated strong feasibility and implementation potential, supporting progression to larger-scale educational evaluation and curricular integration.
