The younger generations, including nursing students, live daily lives equipped with extremely advanced mobile technology, challenging nursing educators to integrate mobile technology in education to increase the level of involvement. Aim of the study: is to determine the effect of Mobile Based Learning Program on postgraduate nursing students’ satisfaction and attitudes in faculty of nursing Damanhour University, Egypt. Method: A quasi -experimental one group pretest-posttest was adopted. The study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing Damanhour University, Egypt. Purposeful sample, all post graduate nursing students (N = 36), registered at three department Administration, Community health nursing & Nursing Education departments. The study was done during the academic year (2018-2019). Two tools were used: Tool I: Students Satisfaction Scale to identify students’ satisfaction level. Tool II: Mobile Learning Attitude Scale (MLAS) to investigate students’ attitudes of mobile learning in their education. Results: The study reveals that postgraduate nursing students, were satisfied and positive attitude after utilizing MBL. A significant positive intermediate correlation was found between different phases of the study, between pre & post satisfaction test, also between pre & post attitude test, and between post satisfaction and attitude test. Conclusion: Post graduate nursing students exhibit more satisfaction and positive attitude after utilizing MBL. Recommendations: More workshops are needed for both teachers & students in utilizing more mobile application to enhance learner motivation in learning.

Introduction In the 21st century, technology is growing more rapidly than ever. The younger generations, including nursing students, live daily lives equipped with extremely advanced mobile technology, challenging nursing educators to integrate mobile technology in education to increase the level of involvement and advance the learning outcomes of students [1]. Mobile based learning is defined as the personalized, linked, and interactive use of hand held computers in classrooms, in cooperative learning during fieldwork, and in counseling and guidance. It supports learning that is more situated, experiential and contextualized within specific domains and affords the creation and use of up-to-date and authentic content [2]. Mobile based learning has been playing a progressively a vital role in education, allowing learning to occur beyond geographical obstacles and time constraints. It supports learners who are studying “on the move” to access learning materials in various contexts, with different cultural and environmental cues essential for understanding the learning contents [3,4]. It also facilitates social interaction among learners and teachers through mobile applications such as text messaging or student response tools [5]. Furthermore, Mobile based learning is used in numerous areas. Information can be replayed, and learners can work at their own pace; learning space is expanded owing to its high portability; simulation learning is also possible, using a user's location-based information; and a self-directed learning can be accomplished, where students can practice certain target knowledge and skills repetitively without spatial limitations [6]. Specially, smartphone-based mobile learning is believed to be suitably applied to nursing education. With its great level of movability and accessibility, smartphone makes it probable to facilitate self-regulatory and active learning by motivating students and to promote collaboration and communication among students [7].
