Clinical Trial Summary

The effect of situational simulation teaching intervention on the attitude and empathy of nursing students towards the elderly can be divided into two stages. The first stage is a cross-sectional study on the aging knowledge, attitude and empathy of nursing students. The second stage was the change of nursing students' attitude and empathy towards the elderly after the intervention of situational simulation teaching. The intervention measures included communication theory and skills, aging trend and knowledge, teaching plans for elderly nursing, activities for the elderly and visual experience, application and debriefing of empathy. This study collected and analyzed the data of aging knowledge, attitude and empathy towards the elderly at the end of the term and one month later, in order to explore the changes of attitude and empathy towards the elderly of nursing students after the intervention of situational simulation teaching.


Clinical Trial Description

Taiwan has entered an aging society and will enter a super aging society in 2026. With the increase of chronic diseases and aging of the elderly, they are gradually weakened. When they are unable to take care of themselves in the future, the demand for institutional care is increasing, and the future labor force is gradually decreasing. The training of care manpower is facing a test. The purpose of this study is to explore the aging knowledge, attitude towards the elderly and empathy of nursing students, and then to explore the change of students' aging knowledge, attitude towards the elderly and empathy after the intervention of simulated situational teaching course, and to explore the change of their willingness to join the elderly career in the future. In the first stage, a cross-sectional study was conducted to extract 139 nursing science students from an Eastern college. In order to explore the aging knowledge, attitude and empathy towards the elderly, and future career involvement willingness of nursing students, Pearson product difference correlation analysis and Spearman grade correlation coefficient analysis were used to predict the relationship between variables, and multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the data. In the second stage of the study, the subjects were the same as those in the first stage. The experimental group and the control group were randomly assigned by drawing lots, with at least 51 participants. At the beginning, the end and one month after the course, we explored the change of students' ability to take care of the elderly and their willingness to devote to the elderly related career in the future. For inferential analysis, independent sample t-test and chi square test were used to analyze whether there were statistically significant differences in basic information, aging knowledge and attitude towards the elderly between the intervention group and the control group, and then generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to check the effectiveness of situational simulation course after controlling relevant interference factors. It is expected that nursing students can experience the inconvenience of daily life of the elderly in the way of situational simulation, use empathy skills, carry out role play of teaching plan, and simulate the care behavior and empathy of the elderly in the clinical situation, so as to improve their willingness to choose jobs related to the elderly after graduation. ;
