Brief Summary

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

Objectives: To examine the differences in nursing student empathy, caring behaviour, and competence between the experimental and control groups before and after educational intervention, and to predict the factors affecting their core competencies.

Detailed Description

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

Design: The investigators used a two-group pretest and post-test quasi-experimental design.

Setting: The experiment was conducted at a college in northern Taiwan. Participants: First-year nursing students from medical schools in Taiwan participated in our study.

Methods: Data were collected between March and May 2022. The learning method used with the intervention group was role-playing with videos and guided reflection. The control group was exposed to classroom lectures without video-recorded role-play and guided reflection. Empathy, caring behaviour, and competence were measured using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy- Healthcare Providers, the Caring Behaviours Scale, and the Nursing Student Competence Scale.

Study Groups

Lectures with video-recorded role-play and guided reflection

The learning method used with the intervention group was role-playing with videos and guided reflection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

video-recorded role-play and guided reflection

Intervention Type OTHER

The experimental group was divided into 6 teams. Before the course, the teacher in charge and each group developed six scenarios: restraint, suicidal intent, respiratory distress, chronic heart failure, medication refusal, and accidental amputation. The researcher guided each group to write scripts about the clinical situations (30 minutes), create role-play videos (50 minutes), and share literature that was helpful in understanding this context (30 minutes). Each student played a role in the filming process. The final film was viewed by all the students during class. Each live class session was 50 minutes in length, with one session per week for 6 weeks. All students were asked to attend six video-viewing sessions and participate in a reflective discussion.
