Summary

The study will recruit new nurses from the hospital to evaluate the effectiveness of learning communicating skills in elderly care through a hybrid learning model. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving hybrid method course or a control group using written materials, with both groups participating in a 60-minute educational session. The research will employ a multi-stage assessment approach, beginning with a pre-test to measure baseline knowledge of aging, attitudes toward older adults, willingness to serve the elderly, and communication skills. Immediately following the intervention, participants will complete a post-test, with a follow-up delayed assessment conducted three months later to evaluate knowledge retention. Clinical preceptors will systematically assess the nurses' elderly communication skills using a standardized rating scale. To gain deeper insights, selected nurses will also participate in qualitative interviews, sharing their learning experiences, reflections, and recommendations for improving the teaching materials, thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of the training's effectiveness and potential areas of enhancement.
