Abstract

Background: Nursing and midwifery students experience high levels of stress, particularly during their clinical education. High levels of stress negatively affect general health. Reality therapy (RT) is a method with potential effects on stress. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of group RT on general health among nursing and midwifery students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in Autumn 2015 using a pretest-posttest design. Forty-six students were randomly allocated to an intervention (n = 23) and a control (n = 23) group. Participants in the intervention group received group RT in eight weekly sessions. The General Health Questionnaire was used for general health assessment both before and 1 month after the study intervention. The paired and the independent samples t- test and the Chi-square test were used for the data analysis. Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and the control groups respecting the pretest mean score of general health (33.05 ± 14.91 vs. 30.34 ± 14.32; P = 0.528). However, the posttest mean score of general health in the intervention group was statistically significantly less than the control group (19.08 ± 10.27 vs. 29.39 ± 12.38; P = 0.004). Conclusion: Group RT can significantly improve general health among nursing and midwifery students.

团体现实治疗对护理助产专业学生整体健康的影响

背景：护理和助产专业的学生压力很大，尤其是在临床教育期间。高水平的压力会对整体健康产生负面影响。现实疗法（RT）是一种对压力有潜在影响的方法。目的：本研究旨在评估RT组对护理和助产专业学生整体健康的影响。方法：这项准实验研究于2015年秋季进行，采用前测后测设计。46名学生被随机分配到干预组（n=23）和对照组（n=24）。干预组的参与者每周八次接受RT组治疗。一般健康问卷用于研究干预前和干预后1个月的一般健康评估。数据分析采用配对和独立样本t检验和卡方检验。结果：干预组与对照组在一般健康预测平均分方面无显著差异（33.05±14.91 vs.30.34±14.32；P=0.528），干预组的总体健康测试后平均得分显著低于对照组（19.08±10.27 vs.29.39±12.38；P=0.004）。
