Brief Summary

Brief Summary: This research is a randomized, pre-test post-test control group, parallel group experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the language training program developed for newly graduated nurses. The study will be conducted with a total of 76 newly graduated nurses, 38 in the experimental group and 38 in the control group, at Etlik City Hospital Orthopedics-Neurology Hospital in Ankara. Participants will be informed about the study at the beginning of the study. Participants who agree to participate in the study and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to groups by an independent statistician. The language training program will be applied to the experimental group, while no intervention will be made to the control group. The training program to be given to the experimental group will consist of a total of two days and four sessions (communication, speaking, patient safety, medical error), and each session will last 90 minutes. Data collection forms will be applied to the experimental and control groups before and after the training. Data collection forms include the descriptive characteristics form, working voice scale, effective communication skills scale, attitude scale in medical errors, and feedback about the language training program. Blinding of the raters will be applied to the participants to minimize bias. Data analysis will use statistical software that uses parametric tests for normally distributed data and nonparametric tests for non-normally distributed data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Employee Voice Scale

  The Employee Voice Scale was developed by Van Dyne and LePine and is a 6-item, single-dimensional scale. In our country, the Employee Voice Scale was adapted to Turkish by Çetin and Çakmakçı. All items in the scale are measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale using the following scales: disagree, somewhat agree, partially agree, mostly agree, completely agree. Higher scores indicate more employee voice behavior.

  It will be evaluated seven days before the intervention (pre-test) and seven days after the intervention (post-test).

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Effective Communication Skills Scale

  It will be evaluated seven days before the intervention (pre-test) and seven days after the intervention (post-test).

• Attitude Scale in Medical Errors

  It will be evaluated seven days before the intervention (pre-test) and seven days after the intervention (post-test).

• Evaluation Form for the Speaking-Up Training Program

  It will be collected immediately after the intervention.

Study Arms (2)

SPEAKİNG UP TRAİNİNG GROUP

EXPERIMENTAL

A pre-test will be administered to all participants seven days before the training program begins. A language training program consisting of four modules will be given to the experimental group participants. The final test of the scales and the training program evaluation form will be administered to the experimental group participants seven days after the training program is completed.

Other: Speak up traning program

NON-TRAİNİNG GROUP

NO INTERVENTION

A pre-test will be applied to all participants seven days before the training program begins. No intervention will be made to the control group participants. The post-test of the scales will be applied to the control group again seven days after the training program of the experimental group participants is completed.

Interventions

Speak up traning program OTHER

The intervention includes the training program to be applied to the experimental group. The aims and objectives of the training program, the training content and modules were prepared by the researcher in line with the needs analysis. The training program consists of four modules: Communication, Speaking UP, Patient Safety and Medical Error. Before the training program starts, the training booklet will be distributed to the experimental group participants. In the training, teaching techniques such as plain narration, question and answer, brainstorming, case study, case discussion, station technique, six thinking hats technique, video-based error scenario activity etc. will be used. The video activity to be used in the speak up session of the training program was created by recording the correct and incorrect scenarios of three patient safety errors by experienced actors.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Since the training will be provided by the researcher, blinding the researcher will not be possible. All participants in the intervention and control groups will think that they will receive the entire language training. It will be explained that the trainings will be planned on different dates, notifications will be sent to mobile phones regarding the start and end times of the trainings, and the nurse whose turn it is will be called to the training. In this way, blinding of the participant will be ensured. After the explanation, the same informed consent form will be signed by the intervention and control group nurses. The statistician will perform the statistical analyses without knowing which group is the intervention and which group is the control.

Model Details: This research is a randomized, pretest-posttest control group, parallel group experimental study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the language training program developed for newly graduated nurses. An introductory information form and a pretest evaluation of the scales will be applied to the participants who accept to participate in the research seven days before the application. Then, the groups will be randomized by an expert other than the researcher and assigned to their groups. The language training program will be applied to the experimental group seven days after the pretest evaluations. No intervention will be made to the control group. The final evaluation of the scales will be made to both groups seven days after the experimental group participants complete the training program. The language training program evaluation form will also be applied to the experimental group participants and their opinions about the training program will be obtained.
