Objective
This study aimed to determine the relationships between e-learning quality, student satisfaction, and learning outcomes and the mediating effect of student satisfaction.
Methods
A cross-sectional quantitative correlational study using a predictive design and multivariate analysis method was employed in this study. A sample of 241 nursing students were recruited through an online survey based on a stratified random sampling technique. The variance-based Partial Least Squares Structural Modeling analysis method was used to test the possible relationship and mediating effect among the variables.
Results
The findings revealed statistically significant relationships between e-learning quality, student satisfaction, and learning outcomes. A mediating effect of 37.2% is predicted for e-learning quality on learning outcomes through student satisfaction.
Conclusions
This study emphasizes the learning needs of working nurses and the impact on their learning outcomes in e-learning nursing undergraduate programs. Advances in e-learning education have assisted nurses to be more self-sufficient in their pursuit of lifelong learning.
