Brief summary
COVID-19, a global epidemic that affects the world, has created significant changes in many areas, especially in the health system. One of the most affected areas is nursing education. The content of nursing education focuses on cognitive, psychomotor and affective areas. In order for nursing education to be successful, important initiatives should be provided in the education of these areas. However, difficulties were encountered in the distance education process.
