Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had forced schools all around the Philippines to abruptly stop face to face activities and shifted to online learning. This study aimed to identify barriers to online learning of nursing students from an allied medical health science school. Using an electronic survey questionnaire, the following data were obtained: Demographic, Family Income, and the Barriers to Online Learning. The study utilized Percentage, Mean, Frequency, Likert Scale, Standard Deviation, Chi Square, and Pearson-r correlation to interpret results. Among the 79 respondents, 100% fall within the age category of adults, 65.8 % are female, 88.6% are Roman Catholics, and 45.6% have a family income ranging P26,000-P35,000. The age variable had a significant relationship with all the barriers to online learning. Technological barriers obtained a mean of 3.18, while Individual Barriers obtained 4.01. Course Curriculum barriers obtained a mean of 3.74, while Domestic obtained 3.34. Institutional barriers obtained a 3.31 mean, while Community gained 3.77. Based on these results, the respondents Agree that Individual, Course Curriculum, and Community barriers affect online learning. On the other hand, they were unsure whether Technological, Institutional, and Domestic barriers affect online learning. In conclusion, the nursing students confronted several barriers as they tried to adapt to the online learning setup.
