About this study
Official title: Communication Competence and Transdisciplinary Cooperation in Geriatric Nursing: A Participatory Action Research
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 group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| single arm trial | Experimental | 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) Receives: Other: Teaching intervention program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Scale of attitudes towards the elderly
The scale of attitude towards the elderly is divided into positive and negative attitudes, with 20 and 22 questions respectively. This scale uses a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 1 to 7 points, ranging from From 1="strongly disagree" to 7="strongly agree", check the attitude and feeling that most matches with them. Degree detection (Cronach's α=0.94) has good reliability and validity.
Measured: Baseline (T0)
Attitude Inventory for Health Team Care
The attitude scale of health team care, the subjects will choose the most consistent attitude and feeling from 1="strongly disagree" to 6="strongly agree" with regard to the degree of agreement between the declarative sentences and their own feelings. The higher the score of the total scale, the more positive the attitude towards health care, and the content validity of this scale has been reviewed by experts. The degree of detection (Cronach's α=0.78), so this research tool also has good reliability and validity.

What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Teaching intervention program in people with Communication and Competence, run by National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences at 1 site in Taiwan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Scale of attitudes towards the elderly (time frame: Baseline (T0)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
