Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to develop a training program for the empowerment of newly graduated nurses and to evaluate the effectiveness of this program. The training program designed to empower newly graduated nurses is based on the theories of "structural empowerment" and "psychological empowerment." The training program consists of two parts: face-to-face theoretical training and online training. To evaluate the effectiveness of the training program to be developed for the empowerment of newly graduated nurses, the research was planned as a single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled study, following the Consolidated Reporting Trials Standards (CONSORT) guidelines. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is there a difference between the structural empowerment perception levels of the experimental group nurses who received the empowerment training program and the control group nurses who went through the routine orientation program?
2. Is there a difference between the psychological empowerment perception levels of the experimental group nurses who received the empowerment training program and the control group nurses who went through the routine orientation program? The research population will be newly graduated nurses (12 months or less of experience) working at Koç University Hospital. Experimental and control groups are expected to apply questionnaires including the "Introductory Information Questionnaire, Empowerment Information Evaluation Questionnaire, Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale, and Psychological Empowerment Scale" as a pre-test. Nurses in the control and experimental groups will receive the routine practices of the institution. The training program developed in addition to the experimental group will be applied. Six months after the training, the experimental and control groups are expected to apply the questionnaires, including the Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Empowerment Information Evaluation Questionnaire as a post-test.

Detailed Description

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

It is known that newly graduated nurses are influential in individual, institutional, and patient outcomes and encounter many problems. Most healthcare institutions do not implement a planned adaptation program for newly recruited nurses. These nurses try to adapt to the institution and the profession with a master-apprentice relationship. In some of them, a basic adaptation program limited to a specific period is implemented. However, there is no theory-based, innovative, easy-to-use training program and any mobile application to increase the qualifications of newly graduated nurses, who play an essential role in the delivery and quality of health services, to ensure corporate belonging, and to support and strengthen their professionalization and professional competence. In addition, there is no study on this subject. The mobile application study was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program for the empowerment of newly graduated nurses and the mobile application to be developed. In the creation of the content of the training program, descriptive and qualitative studies aiming at strengthening the situation assessment will be carried out. In the research, "Control and Experimental Group Introductory Information Questionnaire," "Status Evaluation Questionnaire for Empowerment," "Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale," "Psychological Empowerment Scale, "Semi-structured Interview Form for New Graduated Nurses," and "Information Evaluation for Empowerment." "Question Form" and "Education Evaluation Form" will be used. Gpower 3.1.9.6 by taking 90% power, 0.81 effect size, and first type error 0.05 of the study's sample. As a result of the power analysis made with the help of software, It was decided to have 68 people, 34 in the experimental group and 34 in the control group. Statistical evaluations of the research data will be made using SPSS 26.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Sixty-eight participants were randomly selected from the list of newly graduated nurses from the hospital using a simple random numbers table. After obtaining consent from the participants and evaluating the inclusion criteria, 68 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Using the block randomization method (randomizer.org), these nurses were assigned to the experimental and control groups by a research assistant in the institution where the researchers were not involved in the study work.

Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors

The masking technique was used in the randomization process in the research, and care was taken not to know who was in the intervention and who was in the control group during the assignment process until the study started. In the process of hiding random assignment, the closed envelope method was used.

Study Groups

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

No Intervantion Group

Application Steps of Control Group New Graduated Nurses The control group nurses will be required to fill in the "Introductory Information Questionnaire, Empowerment Information Evaluation Questionnaire, Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale, and Psychological Empowerment Scale" in the randomization process.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental Group

Application Steps of Experimental Group New Graduated Nurses In the first stage, the experimental group nurses will be required to fill in the "Introductory Information Questionnaire, Information Evaluation Questionnaire for Empowerment, Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale, and Psychological Empowerment Scale" in the randomization process.

In the second stage, the theoretical part of the training program will be given to nurses as group training in a physical environment. After the training, the first part of the Training Evaluation Form and the Empowerment Information Evaluation Questionnaire will be applied.

In the third stage, nurses will be required to use the developed mobile-compatible online training program for 6 months.

In the fourth stage, Education Evaluation Form, the Nursing Structural Empowerment Scale, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Empowerment Information Evaluation Questionnaire will be applied to the nurses after 6 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Training Program to be Developed for Empowering New Graduated Nurses

Intervention Type OTHER

The training program, which will be prepared based on structural and psychological empowerment theories, will consist of two parts: face-to-face theoretical training and online training.

1. Theoretical Education Part In the theoretical part, empowerment based on structural and psychological empowerment theories, effective communication, problem-solving and decision-making, time management, stress management, and nursing legislation will occur. In addition, the subject related to the institution's promotion (organizational chart, vision, mission, values, etc.) will be included.
2. Online Education Part In the online part; Videos of theoretical education subjects, institutional information, and documents (institutional instructions and procedures, institution vision-mission-values, management chart, etc.), nursing-related legislation (nursing law, nursing regulation), nursing ethical codes and case studies of sample subjects are included.
