Detailed Description

Comprehensive nursing assessment is imperative for newly recruited nursing personnel to holistically identify patients' issues, thereby ensuring the provision of high-quality care. This study employs a randomized controlled trial design and will be conducted at a medical center in northern Taiwan. Eligibility criteria for participation require individuals to be new nurses entering the hospital for the first time and lacking prior clinical work experience. Those working part-time will be excluded from the study. A projected enrollment of 60-80 participants includes 30-40 nurses in both the intervention and comparison groups. Nurses assigned to the intervention group will receive nursing health assessment instruction and engage in discussions utilizing humanoid diagrams. In contrast, nurses in the comparison group will undergo health assessment instruction and discussions using case studies. Questionnaires were administered at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and five weeks thereafter to assess the effects of the two training programs.
