Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Health Communication Technology
  • Patient-Provider Interaction

Background:

  • Effective communication is fundamental in nursing care, encompassing interactions with patients, families, providers, and staff.
  • Nurses frequently encounter challenging conversations, including those about sensitive topics like sexual intimacy.
  • Developing confidence and managing anxiety are crucial for nurses when addressing such issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of video conferencing technology on nursing students' confidence and anxiety levels.
  • To assess the effectiveness of technology-assisted learning for discussing difficult patient topics.
  • To improve pre-licensure nursing students' communication skills regarding sexual intimacy with patients.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-licensure nursing students participated in a study involving video conferencing via electronic devices.
  • Surveys were administered pre- and post-activity to measure changes in confidence and anxiety.
  • Students engaged in 15-20 minute video conferencing sessions with a patient discussing intimacy-related issues.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in confidence and decrease in anxiety scores were observed post-activity (p=.001).
  • Most students (82%) found the video conferencing tool beneficial, though many (50%) still preferred in-person interaction.
  • The majority of students reported that discussing intimacy with patients was less difficult than anticipated.

Conclusions:

  • Technology, specifically video conferencing, serves as an effective educational tool for nursing students.
  • This method enhances students' ability to communicate effectively on sensitive topics like sexual intimacy.
  • The study supports the integration of technology in nursing curricula to build essential communication competencies.
