ARCS-Based Training to Improve Nursing Students' Communication, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study explores the impact of an ARCS-based training program on nursing students' communication skills, learning motivation, and self-efficacy. Communication is essential in nursing for quality patient care and safety, yet students often struggle with it. The ARCS Motivation Model-focused on Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction-aims to boost motivation and improve learning outcomes. Using a randomized controlled design, the study compares an experimental group receiving ARCS-based training with a control group receiving traditional education. Key outcomes include improved communication skills, motivation, and self-efficacy. This research highlights the potential of the ARCS model in enhancing nursing education and student performance.
