| Sumario: | Background: Information technology is widely used in education. For this reason, nurse educators should integrate information technology into the curriculum for nursing students to learn the necessary knowledge and skills. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of web-based teaching on nursing students' intramuscular (IM) injection learning. Method: The study was performed in a nursing faculty between October 2016 and March 2017. The study sample comprised 66 second year students. The students were assigned into experimental (n=33) and control groups (n=33). While the students in the control group were taught how to administer IM injection through the traditional in-class training and demonstration method, the students in the experimental group were taught through the web based teaching method in addition to the traditional in-class training and demonstration method. The students were compared in terms of their IM injection knowledge scores, IM injection skill scores, satisfaction with the training method, and feelings of being self-competent about IM injection. Results: It was determined that there was no difference between the mean pre-test and post-test IM injection knowledge scores of the students in the experimental and control groups, and that the mean IM injection skill scores of the students in the experimental group were higher. It was also determined that the students in the experimental group were more satisfied with their training method and that there was no difference between the students in the experimental and control groups in terms of feeling adequate about how to perform IM injection. Conclusion: The web-based training given in addition to the traditional training and demonstration method increased the students' IM injection administration skills. Moreover, the students who received the web-based training were found to be more satisfied with their teaching method.
