Summary

Caring is an integral part of nursing. It is grounded on universal human value such as empathy, to provide quality nursing care to patients. Nursing educators have a responsibility to develop teaching strategies to enable students to learn how to care using empathy. One way to foster empathy is by adopting experiential learning where knowledge and understanding is developing through transforming of experience. The use of cinema, as a form of drama, provides opportunities for students to learn from another people's story. You Tube, a large medium of digital story video clips, can offers tremendous opportunities for nursing educators to engage and assess to students. Some You Tube videos provide fictional scenarios from people discussing on their health problems and related concerns that give students real-life insight and promote cultivation on empathetic caring attitudes required for ethical healthcare practice needs. Using video technology to facilitate learning has become more popular in nursing but the research for using YouTube as a pedagogical tool on empathy is limited.

This study aims to examine the use of YouTube video as a teaching resource on nursing student's empathy, attitude and understanding of patients' and caregivers' experience in various health conditions.
