Summary

The objective of this historical control trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an Ethics and Moral Course, based on the Ashridge training model, in newly graduated nurses. The primary questions it aims to address are: (1) What is the impact of integrating moral education into the standardized training of newly employed nurses on their professional outlook? (2) Can this study enhance the humanistic care abilities and overall competencies of newly graduated nurses?

Researchers compared two groups of newly employed nurses (without work experience) at a specific hospital. The control group received conventional training, while the intervention group underwent a moral education curriculum designed in three stages based on the Ashridge training model, in addition to traditional training. Post-training, the two groups were compared in terms of their sense of professional mission, perceived professional benefits, humanistic care abilities, theoretical knowledge, and practical skills performance.

(2) Integrated stage (4-6 months of employment): This stage combines professional identity with actual work, enhancing humanistic care abilities in practice. It emphasizes mutual sharing between instructors and new nurses, utilizing diverse training methods to promote experience and reflection. (3) Cumulative stage (7-12 months of employment): This stage develops critical thinking and ethical problem-solving abilities. It focuses on assessing comprehensive abilities in complex nursing situations, providing feedback on the teaching plan, and evaluating training effectiveness.
