               Application of Digital Educational Contents in the

               Mlinarska Nursing School


               Digital  educational  content  is  designed  as  an  interactive  and  innovative  way  to  motivate
               students and to encourage active learning. Digital educational content is created as part of the
               ESF project Regional Center of Competence Mlinarska. The project started 3 years ago, during
               the corona virus pandemic, and an additional incentive for improving the content was the need
               to teach online. The idea for creating digital educational content came from the fact that the
               newer generations of students almost exclusively search the Internet for information via search
               engines, using their mobile phones or computers.
               Digital content are used in education and is intended for learning process, self-assessment, in
               class or at home, but also for the teaching and monitoring process done by teachers. It can be
               used as a whole, but also in smaller independent fragments. It is adjustable for students with
               special educational needs.
               Four digital contents were developed: Basic procedures in patient health care, Procedures of
               health care of surgical patients, Emergency medical procedures and Procedures in the health
               care of children. The contents are primarily intended for nursing high-school and university
               students but are publicly available for free use by anyone interested.
               Our  opinion  is  that  this  type  of  educational  content  would  be  especially  useful  for
               nurses/technicians  who  are  currently  employed  in  order  to  remember  the  proper  way  of
               performing certain procedures. In that matter, it is possible to quickly access visual media that
               provide insight into the procedure in nursing care, thus reducing the possibility of working
               errors and raising the quality of health care.
               After a relatively short time of using digital educational contents, we did a short cross-sectional
               research on students of the Mlinarska Nursing School related to the use of published content’s.
               The  study  involved  166  students.  Only  9%  said  they  have  never  used  digital  healthcare
               educational contents on the Izzi platform. When asked to assess how much the use of digital
               educational contents helped them in overcoming certain subjects, 20% answered that it helped
               them greatly, and 58.4% that it helped them somewhat. Students stated that the contents helped
               them the most in overcoming the subjects General Health Care, Special Health Care and Health
               Care of Surgical Patients.
               A large number of students believe that the contents should be expanded and cover more topics,
               also given that medicine is constantly progressing, we hope that it will also be possible to
               document such innovative contents  in the  future so  that students  can  gain  new knowledge
               quickly and with higher quality.
