title: Web-based training: readiness and perceptions of nurses.
abstract: This study was conducted as a descriptive study in order to determine the views of nurses working a university hospital on web-based training. Population consisted of all the nurses working in the hospital. It was found out that nurses use computer at the moderate level (46.5 %), they benefit from Internet at a good level (46.5 %), almost all of them use Internet to make searches about professional issues (94.6%), they want to update their professional knowledge (90.1%) and they find it difficult to reach information on such grounds as time constraint (81.1 %) and lack of appropriate environment (62.1 %) and they want to receive a web-based training (87.1 %). It is important that web-based training programmes be generalised in the field of nursing where there exists a time problem, studies as regards to how to integrate these programmes into continuing education be increased and their results be reflected on the practices.
