The Influence of Narrative Education on the Humanistic Caring Quality of Undergraduate Nursing Students

摘要

Objective To explore the effect of narrative education on the quality of humanistic caring of undergraduate nursing students. Methods The Class 2015 and 2016 nursing undergraduates in our college were divided into two groups according to their grades. For the Class 2016 undergraduate nursing students, we used the stories of 73 Chinese Nightingale Prize winner as narrative education materials in the course of humanistic culture. According to the stories, the students were asked to write a speech as an assignment and participate in the speech contests organised in classes and in the school. The humanistic care quality scale was used to investigate the students' humanistic caring quality before and after intervention, and the results were also used to make comparison with the result from students of Class 2015, who did not have humanistic caring courses. Results The total score (t=3.297, P=0.001), caring concept (t=2.784, P=0.006), caring perception (t=3.752, P<0.001), caring ability scores (t=2.160, P=0.032) of Class 2016 were higher than grade 2015 nursing students in the level of the same period, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The method of narrative education based on the stories of Nightingale Prize winner can effectively improve the humanistic caring quality of undergraduate nursing students.
