Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of individualized caring relationship teaching based on Paterson and Zderad's Humanistic Nursing Approach on caring-oriented nurse-patient interaction among first-year nursing students before their first clinical practice.

Eligible nursing students will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group using a computer-based randomization method. The intervention group will receive structured theoretical education based on Paterson and Zderad's Humanistic Nursing Approach, including individualized caring relationships, presence, reciprocity, meaningful interaction, the I-Thou relationship, and empathic communication. Following the theoretical education, students in the intervention group will participate in a structured simulation session with a standardized patient. The simulation will consist of prebriefing, scenario implementation, and debriefing.

Students in the control group will receive the conventional theoretical education included in the nursing curriculum and will not participate in the standardized-patient simulation.

Data will be collected before and after the intervention. Caring-oriented nurse-patient interaction will be assessed using a validated measurement instrument. In addition, students in the intervention group will be evaluated during the simulation using structured assessment tools, and their simulation experience and simulation-based learning will be assessed.

The study is expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of combining humanistic nursing theory-based education with standardized-patient simulation in preparing nursing students for clinical practice and developing caring-oriented nurse-patient interaction.
