Brief Summary

The effect of situational simulation teaching intervention on the attitude and empathy of nursing students towards the elderly can be divided into two stages. The first stage is a cross-sectional study on the aging knowledge, attitude and empathy of nursing students. The second stage was the change of nursing students' attitude and empathy towards the elderly after the intervention of situational simulation teaching. The intervention measures included communication theory and skills, aging trend and knowledge, teaching plans for elderly nursing, activities for the elderly and visual experience, application and debriefing of empathy. This study collected and analyzed the data of aging knowledge, attitude and empathy towards the elderly at the end of the term and one month later, in order to explore the changes of attitude and empathy towards the elderly of nursing students after the intervention of situational simulation teaching.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

• The Aging knowledge

  The Aging Knowledge Questionnaire contains 16 true or false questions, and each correct answer gets one point. The higher the score, the better the knowledge of aging. There is no subscale. The score of range from 0-16.
