THE EFFECT OF "NON - VİOLENT COMMUNİCATİON" TRAİNİNG BASED ON CONSTRUCTİVİST LEARNİNG MODEL ON NURSİNG STUDENTS' EMPATHY AND PROBLEM SOLVİNG SKİLLS (NVC in Nursing)

March 25, 2026 updated by: Bahar Döner
This study aimed to examine the effect of a Nonviolent Communication Training Program, based on the Constructivist Learning Model (5E Model), on the problem-solving and empathy skills of nursing students.This study is a randomized controlled experimental design with a pre-test/ post-test control pattern. It was conducted with a total of 68 students selected by randomization from among first- year nursing students at a state university who voluntarily participated in the study during the fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. Data were collected using Information Form-1, Information Form-2, the Nonviolent Communication Knowledge Test (NCCT), the Social Problem Solving Inventory Form (SPSI) and the Empathic Skills Scale-B Form (ESS-B). Data analysis included descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean and Standard deviation); normality was assessed using skewness and kurtosis coefficients. Dependent samples t-tests were used for within- group comparisons and Chi-square tests were used for between- group comparisons.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
