fatigue, nursing students, online learning, videoconferencing, ZoomAbstract
This study determined the associations between Zoom fatigue and satisfaction with online learning among nursing students in a higher institution of learning in the Philippines. A cross-sectional research design was employed and a web-based survey using two self-report measures was conducted in 2021. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and linear regression were used to analyze the responses of 408 student respondents. The sample demonstrated high levels of Zoom fatigue and low to average online learning satisfaction. There was a significant difference in the Zoom fatigue levels between male and female students. Higher Zoom fatigue levels predicted reduced online learning satisfaction. This study underscores that online learning and virtual meetings have a likely negative impact on students' online learning experiences. Nursing schools may need to reconsider the existing learning and teaching strategies and start measures that will foster more meaningful and positive experiences in the virtual learning environment.
