Abstract :Intensive care nurses provide nursing care to critical patients not only using advanced knowledge and advanced clinical skills but also by racing against time. Therefore, it is vital for intensive care nurses to maintain their professional development and closely follow current trends related to the care process. This study aims to determine the opinions of intensive care nurses about the use of the web-based education method in in-service education. The sample of this study consisted of 62 intensive care nurses working in the adult intensive care unit. All the nurses volunteered to participate in the web-based in-service education program on the “The Effect of Web-Based Education on the Knowledge and Practice of Sedation Management of Intensive Care Nurses.” The study data were obtained with the “Nurse Introduction Form” and the “Evaluation Form of the Opinions of Nurses on Web-Based Education”. These data were evaluated with the SPSS 22.0 software and descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, median, and interquartile range). This study found that the rate of agreement on the statements \"web-based in-service education activities support nurses in maintaining continuing education/lifelong education after graduation,\" \"web-based in-service education activities can be a solution to the problem that nurses cannot participate in in-service education programs due to working hours,\" and \"web-based in-service education activities facilitate the family life of nurses\" was very high. Nurses believe that web-based education is supportive in maintaining continuing professional development and in-service education.
