Development of Training Programs for Nursing Competency Reinforcement to Spread Trauma Intervention

This study aims to improve the trauma intervention competency of nurses through online-based training of the nursing intervention program for trauma-experienced subjects. The specific goals are as follows.

1. Based on Swanson's Caring Theory, develop an online training program for nurses to spread trauma nursing intervention and improve competency.
2. Evaluate the effects of the developed program's workbook and online training on nurses' trauma-related knowledge and attitude, self-efficacy, and professional quality of life.

Of the 42 subjects who enrolled in the study, 1 dropped out before intervention, resulting in 41 participants who completed all interventions and surveys.
