摘要
Objective:As a developable ability,empathy is significantly associated with patient-centered care.The authors intended to evaluate the effect of Virtual Dementia Tour(VDT)upon nursing students'empathy level and propose practical rationales for optimizing future dementia care.Methods:A total of 45 second-year undergraduate nursing students were organized to watch a theme movie entitled Still Alice and participate in an 8-min VDT.Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professional Students(JSE-HPS)was employed for evaluating the empathy level of nursing students.After VDT,all nursing students participated in a structured interview.Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were performed using SPSS 24.0.Results:Their empathy levels demonstrated significant overall improvements(106.69±9.49 vs 115.51±10.16,P<0.01).During the course of VDT,nursing students experienced varying levels of anxiety and frustration.All of them were satisfied with the program since they had gained a deeper understanding of demented patients and the program could change their attitudes toward demented elders.Conclusion:Watching a specially selected movie and participating in VDT may be an effective method for enhancing empathy and caring during nursing student education.
目的本研究旨在评估观看电影和虚拟失智之旅对护生共情能力及其关于痴呆患者态度的影响。方法45名大学二年级护生观看了与痴呆患者有关的电影《依然爱丽丝》(Still Alice),并体验了8 min的虚拟失智之旅。采用Jefferson共情量表(健康专业学生版)评价护生的共情能力,采用结构式访谈了解护生参与虚拟失智之旅的感受及体会,采用SPSS 24.0进行描述性统计和配对l检验。结果干预前后护生共情能力得分分别为(106.69±9.49)分和(115.51±10.16)分,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。在虚拟失智体验过程中,护生感到不同程度的焦虑和沮丧。大部分护生觉得该课程有助于他们更好地了解痴呆患者,改变了他们对待痴呆患者的态度。结论观看相关主题电影和体验虚拟失智之旅可作为护理教育中的有效教学方法,提高和改善护生共情及关怀能力。
