Detailed Description

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

Background: Only a few studies have explored how compassion is taught to nursing students.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the differences in compassionate flow among nursing students both before and after an educational intervention.

Design: This study employed a cluster randomised controlled trial design. Settings: This study was conducted in medical schools in Taiwan. Participants: We enrolled first- and second-year nursing students. Methods: The intervention group underwent dance movement therapy, while the control group received yoga training. Compassionate flow was assessed using the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scale and the Fears of Compassion Scale.

Study Groups

The intervention group

The intervention group underwent dance movement therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

dance movement therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Our DMT program was adapted from an integrated somatic dance and visual arts program previously applied to the older population (Hsu, 2023). The intervention was scheduled in the afternoon and lasted for approximately 2 h. As previously recommended, rhythmic and contralateral movements on both sides of the body were emphasized in this study to enhance coordination and stimulation between the left and right cerebral hemispheres (Phillips-Silver and Trainor, 2007). The experimental groups were then subdivided into six groups. Balloons half-filled with water were used as the game in this study to guide individual and grouping rhythms and movements. Additionally, painting was incorporated to help participants understand their bodies and psychological states (Tjasink et al., 2023). Finally, group discussions and mutual support, along with verbal sharing after the DMT exercise, were encouraged.

The control group

The control group received yoga training.

Group Type OTHER

yoga training

Intervention Type OTHER

The yoga program included breathing exercises, Asanas, eye focus, body lock, and meditation. Participants were instructed to adjust their positioning based on their skill level to mitigate the risk of injury. The yoga intervention was scheduled at 2 pm and lasted for approximately 2 h.
