The participants in this study are college students with studying long-term care. After different teaching strategies, the students are hypothesised to improve their caring ability in the future and apply rhythmic muscle training programmes.

Therefore, this study will explore the relationship amongst three different teaching strategies of nursing students through multimedia audio-visual, multimedia audio-visual and experiential learning programmes and teachers' personal demonstration and experiential learning, as well as identify their relationship with caring ability.
