| Sumario: | This study was conducted to investigate the effect of web‐based teaching on paediatric nursing internship students' self‐confidence and anxiety levels in the clinical decision‐making process. The study sample consisted of 61 students who received internship training in the Pediatric Nursing department. There were 30 students in the control group and 31 students in the experimental group. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, and nursing anxiety and self‐confidence levels were measured using a clinical decision‐making scale. The data were analysed using a t test, a Mann‐Whitney U test, a correlation analysis, and a regression analysis, along with power and effect size. The self‐confidence scores of the experimental group were higher than the scores of the control group (p < 0.05), and the anxiety scores of the experimental group were lower than the scores of the control group (p < 0.05). The web‐based training program accounted for 17.8% of the change in self‐confidence and 12.8% of the change in anxiety level. Therefore, the web‐based training program was effective in increasing nursing students' self‐confidence levels and decreasing their anxiety levels in the clinical decision‐making process. Lay Description: Problem There is a general lack of an identified theoretical framework of "Effect of Web‐Based Education on Self‐Confidence and Anxiety Levels of Pediatric Nursing Interns in Clinical Decision‐Making Process."What is already known Web‐based education are effective educational methods to improve the learning outcome through nursing intern student knowledge and practice. But there is not enough information about the effect of web‐based education on self‐confidence and anxiety levels of paediatric nursing interns in clinical decision‐making process.What this paper adds This study provides evidence for web‐based education effect the self‐confidence and anxiety levels of paediatric nursing interns in clinical decision‐making process.
