Abstract

Background: Nurses are on the frontline in all health practice settings, including public health. It is important to prepare nursing students with public health care training to give them the confidence to practice in a public health center. This study aimed to examine the effects of integrated public health care training on the self-confidence and competence of nursing students. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was applied using a pre-test and post-test control group design. To collect data, simple random sampling was taken, involving 114 respondents (intervention group: n = 76; control group: n = 38). The data were compared between the two groups using independent t-test. The outcomes measured were self-confidence and competence. Results: The results revealed that integrated public health care training can effectively improve self-confidence and competence among nursing students. Following the intervention, the intervention group had a significantly higher self-confidence and competence score than the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Integrated public health care training can effectively improve self-confidence and competence among nursing students.

通过综合公共卫生培训提高护生的自信心和能力

背景：护士在包括公共卫生在内的所有卫生实践环境中都处于第一线。重要的是为护理专业的学生提供公共卫生保健培训，让他们有信心在公共卫生中心实习。本研究旨在探讨综合公共卫生保健训练对护生自信心和能力的影响。方法：采用测试前和测试后对照组设计进行准实验研究。为了收集数据，采取了简单的随机抽样，涉及114名受访者（干预组：n=76；对照组：n=38）。使用独立t检验对两组之间的数据进行比较。测量的结果是自信和能力。结果：综合公共卫生保健培训能有效提高护生的自信心和能力。干预后，干预组的自信心和能力得分明显高于对照组（p＜0.001）。
