Abstract

In this study, the relationship between satisfaction with distance learning, perceived stress, and depression levels of nutrition and dietetics students (n = 358) was investigated. The data collection form consisted of views on distance learning, Satisfaction Scale for E-Courses, Perceived Stress Scale, and Beck Depression Scale. While nearly half of the participants had positive opinions about the effectiveness, learning objectives, and dissemination of distance learning for theoretical courses, more than half had negative opinions about distance learning for internships. Online course satisfaction was determined as moderate (x̄/k = 3.20). It is recommended to improve the distance learning techniques in nutrition and dietetics education, especially in internships.
