Purpose
Since anticancer medication nursing is an evaluation area for accreditation by medical institutions in Korea, all clinical nurses are required to attend an annual classroom lecture. However, it is necessary to reconsider the methods and effects of this requirement. This study was conducted to develop a web-based anticancer chemotherapy nursing course for clinical nurses and to examine its effectiveness in terms of job knowledge, self-efficacy, and nursing performance.
Methods
A randomized controlled design using random selection was utilized. The content was developed into 5 modules featuring basic and advanced learning, and the total learning time was 80 minutes. To test the effect of the multimedia contents, a randomized control group pretest-posttest study design was adopted. Clinical nurses with less than five years of experience were recruited from a university-affiliated hospital and randomly assigned to an experimental (n=28) or control (n=28) group. The experimental group autonomously learned web-based anticancer chemotherapy nursing for two weeks through a website.
Results
There was a statistically significant increase in the job knowledge of the experimental group receiving the classroom lecture (p=.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in self-efficacy (p=.055) and nursing performance (p=.359).
Conclusion
This study found that web-based self-learning could be a useful learning strategy for the anticancer chemotherapy and nursing education that clinical nurses must complete annually. However, it is necessary to verify the effect on self-efficacy and nursing performance through repeated studies.

PURPOSE
Health care professionals represent an immediately available resource to promote smoking cessation. However, the content in smoking cessation intervention courses in most institutions is insufficiently covered due to the limited number of class hours. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive tobacco cessation-web-based, multimedia, educational program for a range of medical professionals.
METHODS
Based on Jung's Teaching and Learning Structure Plan Model, a development process was proposed comprising four stages: (1) analysis, (2) planning, (3) production, and (4) operation/evaluation. The effectiveness of the program was tested using quasi-experimental design, and the participants in experimental group were required to complete the program. Changes in the level of knowledge and attitude were measured.
RESULTS
The educational program developed includes nine topics and 26 sub-topics. A total of 180 storyboards, 15 videos, and 27 pictures were made. After the education, the level of knowledge was significantly increased in the experimental group.
CONCLUSION
This web-based program can be recommended as a potential medium for health care professionals to use in counseling smoking cessation. The study findings also indicated that the program may be either offered as a teaching aid or utilized concurrently with lectures for students studying health care-related topics.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to develop Web-based multimedia contents for supporting student nurses' clinical practice on critical care, and to evaluate learners' responses.
METHODS
Based on the steps of Assessment, Design, Development, Implementation, & Evaluation(ADDIE) model, a total of 13 self-directed learning modules including live lectures and real video clips were developed through faculty collaboration of nine nursing colleges in Gwangju and Chonnam province. The finally developed multimedia contents were published on the Web of the learning management system at a local e-learning center.
RESULTS
The Web contents were evaluated after self-learning by 81 junior college nursing students who were encouraged to study it at their own pace during their two-week clinical practice at a medical or surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital and two hospitals. The knowledge (t = -27.66, p < .001) and self-evaluated clinical performance level(t = 7.54, p < .001) were significantly increased after learning of the Web contents and clinical practice, and satisfaction level that measured post-test only was 4.0 out of 5 point.
CONCLUSION
The use of Web contents for critical care need to be extended as a complimentary material in a class room lecture or clinical practice of students to increase their self-learning ability and understandings of clinical knowledge and situation.
