Abstrakt: To increase the competency of undergraduate nursing students to find and evaluate online health information, a Digital Health Assignment was created for second year nursing students. Facebook was used as the assignment platform. Students chose and appraised social media postings regarding topics of interest for expecting families. Students utilized an adapted Trust in Online Health Information scale to appraise the social media postings, including the quality of information. At completion of the assignment, student evaluation surveys revealed the knowledge gained through the learning activity. Implications for nursing education are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
