A Multidimensional Intervention to Improve Ethical Decision-Making Competence Among Nursing Student Interns
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 5-week multidimensional intervention in improving ethical decision-making competence among nursing student interns. The intervention is designed to address multiple factors influencing ethical decision-making during clinical training. The study will also examine whether the effects of the intervention are maintained at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups after the intervention ends.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the 5-week multidimensional intervention improve ethical decision-making competence among nursing student interns compared with usual clinical internship training?
- Are the effects of the intervention maintained at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups after the intervention ends?
Researchers will compare nursing student interns who receive the 5-week multidimensional intervention with those who receive usual clinical internship training to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness.
Participants will:
- Complete questionnaires assessing all study outcome measures at baseline, at the end of the 5-week intervention, and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups after the intervention ends.
- Participate in the educational activities provided to their assigned study group.
- Complete follow-up assessments as scheduled.

Experimentální: Multidimensional Intervention Group
Participants assigned to this group will receive a 5-week multidimensional intervention designed to improve ethical decision-making competence among nursing student interns during clinical learning. The intervention will address factors relevant to ethical decision-making through structured educational activities. Participants will complete outcome assessments at baseline, at the end of the intervention, and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups after the intervention ends. |
A 5-week multidimensional educational intervention to improve ethical decision-making competence among nursing student interns. Sessions will be delivered once weekly, lasting 1.5-2 hours each. The intervention includes five modules: (1) ethical issue recognition; (2) ethical emotion regulation; (3) ethical reasoning and decision-making; (4) ethical expression and action; and (5) clinical teaching rounds. The intervention aims to strengthen participants' ethical awareness, emotional regulation, decision-making, and ability to address ethical challenges during clinical learning. Participants in the usual clinical internship training group will receive routine clinical learning and teaching according to the hospital's established training program. Regular activities include clinical skills training, observation and participation in nursing care under the supervision of clinical instructors, case discussions. When encountering ethical issues during clinical learning, participants will generally seek advice from their clinical instructors or supervising nurses. No additional study-specific intervention will be provided. |

Aktivní komparátor: Usual Clinical Internship Training Group
Participants assigned to this group will receive usual clinical internship training according to the hospital's standard training arrangements. They will not receive the study-specific 5-week multidimensional intervention during the intervention period. Participants will complete outcome assessments at baseline, at the end of the 5-week intervention period, and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups after the intervention period ends. |
