Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' levels of technology addiction and their attitudes toward e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN AND METHODS: The study had a cross-sectional design and was conducted at a Department of Nursing in a Faculty of Health Sciences in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 434 nurses chosen by stratified sampling method. FINDINGS: The nursing students had a low level of technology addiction and mildly positive attitudes toward e-learning. A statistically positive correlation was found between students' technology addiction and their attitudes toward e-learning (p < 0.01). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Determining the levels of technology addiction and attitudes toward e-learning in nursing students will help nurse educators in designing curricula and developing e-learning in this area.
