Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic process, all educational institutions were closed and traditional education was shaped according to the distance education process, and courses were conducted with distance education. Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between nursing students’ attitudes towards e-learning and perceived learning during the pandemic process. Methods: The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 108 students studying in the second, third and fourth grades of an university’s nursing department in the 2020-2021 academic year. Data were collected using “The Descriptive Characteristics Form”, “The Attitude Scale Towards E-Learning” and “The Perceived Learning Scale”. The data of the study were evaluated by number, percentage, mean, Independent Sample T Test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the research was 21.64 (± 1.74) and 60.2% of were women. The students’ Attitude Scale Towards E-Learning mean score was 55.96 (± 15.99), and the Perceived Learning Scale mean score was 35.90 (± 11.63). It has been stated that there was a statisticallysignificant difference between the place where the students live and the mean scores of the E-Learning Sub-dimension, grade level and Cognitive sub-dimension. There was a statistically significant and highly positive linear relationship between Perceived Learning Scale mean scores and E-Learning Attitude Scale mean scores (r = .743, p < .001). Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between the attitudes towards e-learning and perceived learning of nursing students. In distance education environments, students should be able to share their views and thoughts, to interact with the instructors and their peers to improve the perception of learning. It may be recommended that nurse educators configure the lessons in the e-learning process by supporting them with online collaborative learning approaches.
