Effectiveness of a Mobile Technology-Supported Self-Reflective Course in Communication Behaviors for Outpatient
Abstract:
Background Communication is a core competency for outpatient nurses. This study investigated the effectiveness of a mobile technology-supported self-reflective (MTS) course in communication behaviors among outpatient nurses. Method This quasi-experimental study used a convenience sample of 78 outpatient nurses (experimental group = 39; control group = 39). The experimental group completed the MTS communication course. Communication behaviors were evaluated before, 1 week after, and 1 month after the course. Results There was no significant difference in communication behaviors between the groups before the intervention. One week after the intervention, communication behavior scores significantly increased in both groups without significant between-group differences (p > .05). One month after the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher communication behavior scores (p < .05). Both groups demonstrated high learning satisfaction. Conclusion The MTS communication course was successful in promoting effective outpatient nurse-patient communication. Health care facilities may want to incorporate the MTS course into their orientation program. [.
