Comparing of Using Interactive E-books and Traditional Education Methods for Nursing Students and Nursing Staff

Comparing the Effectiveness of Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia(BBTI) for Nursing Students and Nursing Staff Using Interactive E-books and Traditional Education Methods - a Randomized Clinical Trial

Cancer-related comorbidities are a major focus of care for medical staff, especially the incidence of "insomnia" in cancer patients should not be underestimated, and the treatment of cancer-related insomnia by clinical medical staff is often limited to verbal instructions and suggestions, lacking routine and a systematic process. Although "Cognitive behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBTI)" is widely used, due to the limitation of personnel and high time cost, later generations improved "Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI)", which not only broadens the clinical application but also increases the patient's willingness to cooperate.

In recent years, the integration of technology into teaching has become a trend. Among them, interactive e-books are widely used. It not only enhances users' learning motivation and interest but also is effective in building practical confidence. It can also customize course content according to different needs.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of using interactive e-book teaching and traditional teaching methods to learn Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia. The object is aimed at nursing students and clinical nurses. An experimental research design is adopted. A total of 165~180 clinical nurses and university nursing students will be pre-selected and randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group. The control group learned through paper health education leaflets and traditional oral explanations; the experimental group used interactive e-books to intervene in learning Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia, the subjects needed to fill out the pre-test and post-test questionnaires before and after the experiment to compare the difference in the learning effects of the two groups of subjects, and expect that the group using interactive e-book will have better learning effects and course satisfaction.
