Abstract

Objective
To summarize the current evidence on registered nurses (RNs) perspectives, attitudes and experiences related to e-learning.

Design
A systematic review of the literature.

Data sources
The CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published in English from 2000 to 2021.

Review methods
The study followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Inclusion criteria comprised studies with cross-sectional, quasi-experimental, qualitative, and randomised control designs on the attitudes toward, perspectives and experiences of registered nursing about e-learning. Quality appraisal for each study, based on their designs, was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist. Data were synthesized using a narrative approach.

Results
In the 15 included studies, 4 were high quality while 11 were moderate quality. Four themes were revealed in this review including e-learning approaches, facilitators of e-learning and barriers to e-learning barriers to e-learning among RNs and learning in practice barriers.

Conclusions
The systematic review uncovered that E-learning is an effective method for integrating knowledge with practice and promoting professional development among RNs in healthcare settings. However, RNs may lack motivation to engage with E-learning and face challenges associated with user-friendly platforms.
