Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of the learning method based on transformative learning theory to improve sensitivity towards the disabled on the empathic tendency, attitude and alexithymia levels of nursing students.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This randomized, controlled and experimental study was conducted between October and December 2019. The sample of the study consisted of 70 2nd grade nursing students (34 people in the experimental group and 36 in the control group). The learning method based on transformative learning theory was applied to the experimental group. The data were collected using a demographic information form, the Empathic Tendency Scale, Attitudes Towards Disabled Person Scale, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale. The Mann-Whitney U Test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, Paired Sample Test, and Pearson's Chi-Squared Test were used to determine the differences between the groups.
