Abstract

Aim

To explore the effects of a humanistic care digital storytelling programme on the humanistic care ability, empathy, emotional intelligence and clinical communication ability.

Background

Humanistic qualities are vital for patient satisfaction and nursing quality. However, traditional nursing curricula may impede their development, especially in intensive care unit settings. Digital storytelling shows promise, but its effectiveness in enhancing humanistic qualities remains unclear.

Design

A quasi-experimental design with repeated measures, using a convergent parallel mixed-methods approach.

Methods

In a tertiary hospital in Changsha, China, 37 nursing students participated in the intervention group and 40 in the control group. The four-week intervention included educational sessions, reflective diaries and discussion groups. Humanistic qualities were assessed quantitatively at baseline, post-intervention and one-month follow-up using repeated measures ANOVA. Qualitative data from diaries and interviews were analyzed using reflective thematic analysis.

Results

The intervention group demonstrated significantly improved humanistic care ability and empathy scores compared with controls (p < 0.05). Interaction effects were significant for both humanistic care ability (p < 0.05) and emotional intelligence (p < 0.001). The intervention group also showed statistically significant improvements in humanistic care ability and emotional intelligence at both post-intervention and follow-up (p < 0.05). Qualitative analysis revealed four themes: Infectious fusion and Educational Significance, Balancing Enjoyment and Reflection, Complementary Relationship between the Teaching Curriculum and Clinical Practice and Recommendations for Improving the Teaching curriculum.

Conclusion

The digital storytelling programme effectively enhances humanistic qualities among intensive care unit nursing students, supporting its integration into nursing education for improved outcomes.

人文关怀数字化叙事方案对重症护生人文素质的影响：一项混合方法研究

目的探讨人文关怀数字化讲故事项目对患者人文关怀能力、共情能力、情商和临床沟通能力的影响。人文素质是影响患者满意度和护理质量的重要因素。然而，传统的护理课程可能会阻碍他们的发展，特别是在重症监护病房设置。数字叙事显示出了希望，但它在提高人文素质方面的有效性尚不清楚。设计一个具有重复测量的准实验设计，采用收敛并行混合方法。方法选择长沙市某三级医院护生37人作为干预组，对照组40人作为对照组。为期四周的干预包括教育课程、反思日记和讨论小组。在基线、干预后和1个月随访时采用重复测量方差分析定量评估人文素质。采用反思性专题分析对日记和访谈中的定性数据进行分析。结果干预组患者人文关怀能力和共情评分较对照组显著提高（p <； 0.05）。人文关怀能力（p <； 0.05）和情绪智力（p <； 0.001）的交互效应显著。干预组人文关怀能力和情绪智力在干预后和随访时均有显著改善（p <； 0.05）。定性分析揭示了四个主题：感染性融合与教育意义、享受与反思的平衡、教学课程与临床实践的互补关系以及改进教学课程的建议。结论数字化讲故事项目能有效提高重症监护学生的人文素质，支持其融入护理教育，提高护理效果。
