摘要

目的：评价填字游戏活动对护生与老年人合作意愿及老年护理能力的影响。背景：虽然填字游戏是广泛使用的学习工具，但其在这些领域的影响尚未得到充分的研究。设计：平行设计随机对照试验，有等待名单。方法：纳入102名 五年级护生，其中实验组51人，对照组51人。数据采用老年人工作意愿量表和老年护理能力量表收集。实验组在标准讲座后连续三周每周完成一次填字游戏。数据分析采用独立样本和配对样本t检验。结果：实验组老年学能力后测平均分显著高于对照组（p = 0.031），具有中等效应量（d = 0.43）。实验组的老年护理能力（p = 0.033）和与老年人一起工作的意愿（p = 0.004）在测试前和测试后显著提高。然而，干预后，与老年人一起工作的意愿没有显著的组间差异（p = 0.654）。结论：填字游戏活动对护生老年护理能力的提高有促进作用。然而，在与老年人一起工作的意愿方面没有观察到显著的影响。填字游戏活动可纳入护理教育课程，以增强老年护理能力。

Effect of crossword puzzle on nursing students’ willingness to work with older adults and gerontological nursing competence: A waiting list randomized controlled trial

Aim

To evaluate the effect of crossword puzzle activities on nursing students’ willingness to work with older adults and their competence in gerontological nursing.

Background

Although crossword puzzles are widely used learning tools, their effects in these areas have not been sufficiently investigated.

Design

A parallel-design randomized controlled trial with a waiting list.

Methods

Participants included 102 s-year nursing students with 51 assigned to the experimental group and 51 to the control group. Data were collected using Willingness to Work with Elderly People Scale and the Gerontological Nursing Competence Scale. The experimental group completed a crossword puzzle activity once a week for three weeks following standard lectures. The data were analyzed using independent and paired samples t-tests.

Results

The gerontological competence post-test mean scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p = 0.031), with a medium effect size (d = 0.43). Gerontological nursing competence (p = 0.033) and willingness to work with older adults (p = 0.004) significantly increased from pre- to post-test in the experimental group. However, no significant group difference in willingness to work with older adults was found after the intervention (p = 0.654).

Conclusion

The present study concluded that the crossword puzzle activity was associated with promotion in enhancing gerontological nursing competence among nursing students. However, no significant effect was observed on willingness to work with older adults. Crossword puzzle activities could be integrated into nursing education programs to strengthen competence in gerontological care.

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
