چکیده

مقدمه: هدف از پژوهش حاضر طراحی و استقرار بسته پشتیبان مجازی در بستر نرم افزار کاربردی تریت اپ (tritapp) برای دانشجویان جدیدالورود دانشکده دندانپزشکی و بررسی میزان رضایت مندی این دانشجویان در استفاده از این ابزار بود.
روش کار: به منظور تولید محتوای مرتبط، اقلام حمایتی مورد نیاز دانشجویان در سه دسته آموزشی و پژوهشی، رفاهی و فرهنگی و اداری طبقه بندی شد. مطالب کاربردی در قالب فیلم، متن، عکس و یا پوستر جمع آوری و تهیه شد. سپس در نرم افزار کاربردی تریت اپ آیکونی تحت عنوان بسته پشتیبان تعریف شد. دانشجویان بسته پشتیبان مجازی را دریافت و به مدت ۶ ماه از این بسته استفاده کردند و پرسشنامه رضایتمندی محقق ساخته در اختیار دانشجویان قرار گرفت. در نهایت مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت.
نتایج: نتایج حاصل از پرسشنامه نشان داد که 5۰ نفر از دانشجویان به پرسشنامه پاسخ داده بودند که از این تعداد ۱۶ نفر (۳۲درصد) از بسته پشتیبان مجازی استفاده کرده بودند. نیمی دانشجویان از استان تهران بودند و بقیه از سایر استان ها بودند. آمار مشارکت دانشجویان ساکن تهران 57/14 درصد بود و مشارکت دانشجویان ساکن استان های دیگر 22/22 درصد بود.
نتیجه گیری: آمار رضایت دانشجویان از بسته پشتیبان مجازی نشان می دهد حمایت های مجازی می تواند برای دانشجویان مفید باشد. نرم افزار کاربردی تریت اپ  می تواند برای این قبیل پشتیبانی ها کارآمد و مناسب است. اپلیکیشن tritapp به طور بالقوه کارآمد  می باشد و پلتفرم حرفه ای مناسبی برای پشتیبانی دانشجویان به نظر می رسد.

An icon called “support package for newcomer students of School of Dentistry” was defined in the Tritapp application, a social network for medical science professionals. Then, the students were registered and the received the virtual support package for a period of six months. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed and given to the students to assess the student satisfaction. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software.
Findings: The results of the questionnaire were reported that 50 students answered the questionnaire, of which 16 (32%) used the virtual support package. 50% of the respondents were from Tehran province and the rest were from other provinces. The participation rate of students living in Tehran was 57.14% and the participation rate of students living in other provinces was 22.22%.
