Introduction: Pharmacology is an important part of nursing students 'education, but current program do not provide sufficient opportunities to enhance students' knowledge and skills in pharmacology. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of blended education on nursing students' learning and educational climate in pharmacology internship.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 30 undergraduate nursing students with a pharmacology internship course in 1400 at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. All students participated in an 8-session internship through blended education (e-learning and traditional education). At the beginning and end of the internship, the familiarity with the educational objectives was measured using a researcher-made questionnaire by self-assessment method. Also, summative and formative evaluation score were used to assess students' learning. At the end of the internship, the educational climate was assessed using the DREEM questionnaire.
Results: paired t-test showed a significant difference in the mean score of achieving educational goals before and after the course (t= 6.36, P < 0.001). The mean scores of summative (83.66 ± 7.51) and formative evaluation (83.26± 7.09) out of 100 were reported. The mean score of educational climate of pharmacology internship was 98.50± 18.86 out of 170.
Conclusion: The results showed that the rate of achieving the educational goals and educational climate of pharmacology internship by blended training method is desirable. It is suggested to use the blended education in accordance with the educational goals of other internships for students to learn more.
