Brief Summary

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

The ability to communicate and cooperate effectively is essential in geriatric nursing. However, nursing teachers lacked the exploration of the development of this ability and teaching evaluation in previous studies. The investigators used a systematic process to investigate methods for achieving the following goals: 1. Cultivate a positive attitude toward the elderly among nursing students. 2. Improve nursing students' communication competence and interaction skills when providing advanced health care services. 3. Improve the teaching skills of professional nursing instructors.

The ability to communicate and cooperate effectively is essential in geriatric nursing. However, nursing teachers lacked the exploration of the development of this ability and teaching evaluation in previous studies. The investigators used a systematic process to investigate methods for achieving the following goals: 1. Cultivate a positive attitude toward the elderly among nursing students. 2. Improve nursing students' communication competence and interaction skills when providing advanced health care services. 3. Improve the teaching skills of professional nursing instructors.

Using an action research approach, the investigators designed a pair of geriatric nursing and practicum courses and recruited a class of in-service nursing students through convenience sampling in a college setting. The intervention was an 18-week course in geriatric nursing that meets once a week in the classroom and internship practice in settings used for training nursing students. The investigators collected using quantitative indicators (attitude measurements) and qualitative textual analysis. The quantitative data were analyzed by paired t-testing using SPSS 21.0 software.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

single arm trial

A single-arm trial was designed. (Two-hour sessions per week for 18 weeks). The value of classroom learning and practical experience for the study subjects is emphasized in this intervention course. The case analysis teaching technique will be used extensively in the classroom, and the school's digital action learning platform will support instructional activities relevant to senior nursing and elderly nursing practice. In each section of the course, combine classroom instruction with case analysis (2 hours each, 20-30 minutes for topic teaching, 70-80 minutes for case discussion and feedback)
