ENHANCEMENT OF CARING BEHAVIOR AND CARING COMPETENCY AMONG NURSING STUDENTS
VI. CONCLUSIONS
Enhancement of Caring Behavior and Caring Competency…
caring course. This finding is also parallel to the study by Wilson & Gram (2013) that evidenced the participation in Caring Groups offers the opportunity for students to experience and learn caring through sharing personal experiences, growing in self- awareness and self-care and building relationships. This finding also comparable to the finding by Hsu et al. (2015) which the study found higher frequency of caring behavior exhibited by the intervention group exhibited than the comparison group in a quasi-experimental design with the approach of online audio-visual technologies.
Similarly, increased caring behavior by nurses was displayed post intervention of a caring workshop in a study which was conducted by Tsai et al. (2015). This study has been able to prove that caring can be taught. Competency does not develop in seconds but requires persistent efforts from both students and educators.
The quantitative design might limit the further exploration of caring behavior and caring competency among the study participants. Other limitation includes the time duration that limits the availability of more significant changes in pre and post intervention data. Qualitative or mixed-method design with longitudinal study is recommended to permit the discovery of various elements that facilitate the positive changes in caring practices. In addition, various approach or appropriate methodologies could be utilized in the educational intervention to generate interest of participants and to meet the learning needs of future nurse generations.
