About

This is a three-year research project. The goal is to develop and test "The SPOC-based blended teaching and learning platform (Nightingale in Gen-sEx)" that integrates effective educational strategies and e-learning methods to meet the Taiwanese nurse's learning needs. This project is aimed at resolving sexual education learning problems in nursing continuing education due to the time constraints at clinical sites and the shortage of teaching staff. Nurse-patient communication attitudes and skills about sex will be enhanced.

The first year research purpose is to: (1) explore the characteristics of nursing-patient communication about sex and the core educational needs content for nurses using triangulation methods. (2) Construct gender-sensitivity structures characteristics of nursing-patient communication about sex and course framework according to the modified Delphi method results and course needs assessment. The second year develops the SPOC-based blended teaching and learning platform (E-generation Angel of Happiness") and conducts a pilot study to test and correct the course content and method. In the third year a pretest-posttest randomized control group design will be implemented to investigate the effectiveness of the course "E-generation Angel of Happiness" in improving competencies of nurse-patient communication about sex, including attitudes, and practices, among nurses.
