Abstract

For nursing students, mobile technology with its various features can be applied in nursing education to enhance learning outcomes, besides they are the forefront of adopting emerging technologies in healthcare. Although there is widespread use of smartphones, there is limited knowledge regarding the ownership and usage of smartphone. This study aims to investigate the current status of smartphone usage for learning among Bachelor of Nursing students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan Pahang Malaysia. The study utilized convenience sampling, a non-probability sampling technique that collects data from members of the population who are easily accessible and available to the researcher. The findings suggest that nursing students primarily use their smartphones for accessing educational resources in a range of academic and non-academic environments. The study reveals that nursing students in Malaysia use their smartphones primarily for accessing educational resources in various locations, such as university dormitories, and while most use only one smartphone device with Android being the preferred operating system, there is potential for encouraging greater usage of a broader range of learning-related applications through interventions promoting active and collaborative learning.
