Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to test if the e-learning activity that we developed could improve student nurses’ knowledge of continence and mobility and whether or not students would find the style of learning beneficial. Methods A quasi-experimental pre-post-test design was used to test if the continence and mobility e-learning activity could improve student nurses’ knowledge about assessing and managing the needs of continence and mobility. An 18-item true/false knowledge of continence quiz was completed by 116 student nurses and a Likert style feedback learning survey was completed by 135 nursing students. Results There was a statistically significant increase in students’ knowledge about continence and its relationship to mobility following the e-learning activity. The e-learning activity also enhanced students’ knowledge, confidence and perceptions about older people. Conclusions The e-learning activity we developed has the potential to improve nursing students’ knowledge about continence and mobility in an enjoyable manner.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective was to test the assumption that characteristics of intentional learning are not fixed and if an interview assignment enhanced intentional learning.MethodsIn order to meet the needs of practice, nursing educators have trialed student-centered pedagogies, often with resistance from students. Intentional learning appears to mirror the characteristics, such as autonomy, responsibility of one’s own learning, self-regulation, and motivation, needed by students to be successful in student-centered pedagogies. Intentional learning had not been studied in nursing. A quasi-experimental pre/post-test design was used to test intentional learning in nursing students (N=92).ResultsWhile the interview assignment did not enhance intentional learning scores, intentional learning scores did significantly increase over the semester (p=0.039).ConclusionIntentional learning scores did increase, showing that students move along the intentional learning continuum depending on their learning experiences. Future research should include testing teaching strategies that foster intentional learning.
