Influencing aspects of clinical nurses' interactive continuous learning behaviour based on in-service online network videos: A grounded theory approach

This study explores the influencing aspects of nurses' continuous interactive learning behaviour based on In-Service online network videos to facilitate their knowledge development and improve their engagement in online learning. Also, to provide a theoretical model for enhancing the quality of learning and teaching by promoting online nursing education.The qualitative research design of grounded theory methodology (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) was used to develop a theory of clinical nurses' interactive continuous learning behaviours.A grounded theory approach and qualitative research method were adopted in this research. A three-level coding technique was used to extract data, which involved collecting 16,018 pieces of "Synchronous online feedback data" original data from interactive online in-service learning videos. The synchronous online feedback data were analysed using a constant comparative method and then utilised to construct the theoretical model of influencing aspects for nurses' interactive continuous learning. There were 11,083 Synchronous online feedback data of Clinical Nurses (N = 132 participants) based on 32 interactive learning video series from a single centre. The sampling method was based on initial purposive and then theoretical sampling techniques. The data were analysed and extracted using a three-level coding technique with a constant comparison analysis method.The study identified four major categories of influencing aspects for nurses' satisfaction in online learning. These categories include 1. individual aspects; 2. curriculum aspects; 3. teachers' aspects; and 4. nurses' interactive behaviour. These aspects were found to influence the learning satisfaction among nurses and nurses' interactive continuous learning behaviours.The findings provide a reference for maximising the value of In-Service online video learning resources and the sustainable development of educational informatisation. In addition, interactive continuous learning behaviour can promote adherence to a positive learning attitude and build an excellent online learning ecology.
