| dc.description.abstract | Satisfaction with learning management systems (LMSs) is an essential indicator of students' e-learning experiences and reflects the quality of e-learning. Applying the technology satisfaction model, the present study aimed to investigate medical and nursing students' satisfaction with LMSs and its predictors. We conducted our survey at a medical university located in East China and received a total of 329 effective responses. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. Our findings confirmed that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were two direct predictors of medical and nursing students' satisfaction with LMSs. Furthermore, the influence of perceived usefulness on satisfaction was more powerful than that of perceived ease of use. This study also substantiated that computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use can indirectly impact medical and nursing students' satisfaction with LMSs. Our research effectively links the theoretical hypotheses with empirical findings, highlighting the central role of Computer Self-Efficacy (CSE), perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness in shaping medical and nursing students' satisfaction with LMSs. Our findings contributed to the understanding of the technology satisfaction model and medical and nursing students’ e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. | eng |
