Enhancing Communication and Empathy Skills in Geriatric Care: Nurses' Reflections on Simulation-Based Training for Patient Interaction and Education.
Aim: To explore the impact of simulation-based training on communication and empathy skills among nurses working with elderly patients in the Abha region of Saudi Arabia. The study also aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to applying these skills in real-world clinical practice.
Design: A qualitative study.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted between June and July 2024 with 17 nurses from urban and rural healthcare settings in the Abha region. Data were analysed using both deductive framework analysis, guided by social support theory, and inductive thematic analysis to identify key themes related to communication, empathy, and the application of simulation-based skills in practice. We adhered to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist.
Results: The study involved 17 participants aged 22-50 years, with diverse educational backgrounds and work experience. The findings indicated that simulation-based training significantly improved nurses' confidence in delivering difficult news and their ability to empathise with elderly patients. Nurses working in urban settings with regular access to simulation training reported better outcomes compared to those in rural settings with less frequent training opportunities.
Conclusion: Simulation-based training has a positive impact on enhancing communication and empathy skills among nurses, but challenges in real-world application remain. Efforts should be made to improve the accessibility of simulation training and address the barriers preventing its effective implementation in clinical practice.
Implication for the profession and/or patient care: Healthcare practitioners and policymakers should prioritise simulation-based training in nursing education and professional development to improve the quality of care for elderly patients.
Reporting method: The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).
Patient or public contribution: The engagement and interview data from nursing participants provided valuable insights into the impact of simulation-based training on communication and empathy in elderly care.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
