Summary
Education based on the Theory of Human Caring significantly improved nursing students' caring behaviors and ethical attitudes. Both video-supported and case analysis methods proved effective, enhancing student motivation and perspectives.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Ethics
- Human Caring Theory
Background:
- Holistic nursing education is essential for developing caring behaviors and ethical attitudes.
- Cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains must be addressed for comprehensive student development.
- The Theory of Human Caring provides a framework for cultivating these essential nursing qualities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of education based on the Theory of Human Caring on nursing students' caring behaviors.
- To assess the effect of this educational approach on nursing students' ethical attitudes.
- To compare the effectiveness of video-supported and case analysis teaching methods.
Main Methods:
- Convergent mixed-methods approach with randomized pretest-posttest comparisons.
- Quantitative data collected using validated scales (CNPIS, SAEP) and analyzed with t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, and Linear Regression (p<0.05).
- Qualitative data analyzed through document analysis; 95 third-year nursing students participated in Ankara, Turkey.
Main Results:
- Significant pre-test to post-test improvements in caring behaviors and ethical attitudes observed in both groups (p<0.05).
- A statistically significant, moderate, positive correlation found between students' caring behaviors and ethical attitudes.
- Students reported satisfaction, increased motivation, and positive perspective shifts regarding caring and ethics.
Conclusions:
- Education grounded in the Theory of Human Caring effectively enhances nursing students' caring behaviors and ethical attitudes.
- Both case analysis and video-supported methods are effective pedagogical tools for this educational approach.
- Recommends integrating care theories and holistic teaching methods into nursing curricula, with further RCTs.
