Scenario-based education significantly improved nursing students' perceptions of civility, increasing their awareness and capability to address uncivil behavior in academic settings. This strategy effectively enhances learning environments and future nursing care quality.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Academic Civility
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Academic incivility poses a significant challenge in nursing education, negatively impacting the learning environment and the quality of future nursing care.
- Identifying effective strategies to mitigate academic incivility is crucial for nursing programs.
- This study addresses the need for interventions to foster a more civil academic atmosphere among nursing students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing students' perceptions of using scenario-based education as a strategy to improve academic civility.
- To assess the impact of scenario-based education on nursing students' awareness and behavioral capabilities regarding civility.
Main Methods:
- An explanatory mixed-methods approach was utilized with 81 second and third-year nursing students.
- Participants engaged in eight facilitated discussion sessions centered on realistic scenarios.
- Student perceptions were assessed pre- and post-intervention using questionnaires and focus group discussions.
Main Results:
- A statistically significant improvement in students' perceptions of civility was observed after the intervention (p<0.05).
- Qualitative analysis revealed increased student awareness of incivility's importance and enhanced capability to manage uncivil behaviors.
- The scenario-based education program effectively boosted both awareness and behavioral change potential.
Conclusions:
- Scenario-based education offers a valuable strategy for enhancing nursing students' understanding and practice of civil behavior.
- The intervention strengthened students' beliefs in their ability to promote and maintain civility.
- This approach can be effectively implemented to improve the perceived value and utilization of civility-focused programs in nursing education.
