Abstract:

Aims of the research project were a) the investigation of existing digital skills concerning the use of mobile tablet devices, and b) the development needs of nursing students as to the use of these devices. The students’ digital attitudes will inform the feasibility for the assessment of their competences in clinical practice by utilisation of tablet devices. The completion of a bespoke skills- based, self-assessment questionnaire, based on the EU DIGCOMP framework, enabled the extraction of conclusions on group digital competence. Further investigation of intricacies on how students perceive and use technologies in education and their daily lives has been proposed.
