THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON NURSING EDUCATION AMONG NURSING STUDENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on educational sections and is required to close down due to the transmission of the coronavirus. The newly developed online learning is the most reliable option to resume the education process by preventing the academic calendar from accumulating and minimizing learning loss. This systematic review aimed to search the available literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing education. Searching the literature was systematically done using the PRISMA flow diagram, and the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study were followed by the PICO/S framework. The quality assessment was conducted by using the CASP. 30 articles included in this systematic review. Three themes emerged in this review. Those are knowledge and perception of the nursing students towards COVID-19, experience and readiness of the nursing students towards E-learning, and the attitude and psychological impact on the nursing students towards COVID-19.
