Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between information and communications technology (ICT) engagement with online self‑regulated in nursing students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Setting and Design: This research is a correlational study. The study population included all undergraduate nursing students in the 2nd to 6th semesters of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: The sampling was done by accessible method according to the inclusion criteria. The sample size was estimated 272 students. In this study, in addition to examining the demographic characteristics, two standard questionnaires were used, which include: (a) ICT engagement questionnaire and (b) the online self‑regulated learning questionnaire.
Statistical Analysis Used: Inferential statistics such as ANOVA, independent t‑test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and univariate and multivariate linear regression were used.
Results: The results also showed that with multiple regression tests and Enter method, the ICT engagement, age, semesters 3, 5, and 6 and gender explain 30% of the variance of online self‑regulated in nursing students.
Conclusion: In this study, the ICT engagement and online self‑regulated had statistically significant relationship in nursing students and. So, for improving online self‑regulated, it is recommended that the officials of nursing schools provide the facility and related to ICT engagement of students.
