Geriatric Nursing Training Program for Nursing Students
Sponsor: Gazi University
Summary
This research will be conducted using a parallel randomized controlled trial design to investigate the effects of a nursing education program grounded in Travelbe's Human-to-Human Relationship theory on willingness to work with elderly individuals, empathy levels, and communication skills. The sample group will consist of third-year nursing students at a state university (intervention: 24; control: 24). The Willingness to Work with Elderly Individuals Scale, the Kiersma-Chen Empathy Scale, and the Communication Skills Scale will be used to collect data. The intervention group will receive a six-session nursing education program based on Travelbe's Human-to-Human Relationship theory. A repeated-measures ANOVA will be used to compare the mean scores across groups on the scales. In addition, independent-samples t-tests will be used for pre-test and post-test comparisons within groups, and Cohen's d and eta-squared will be used to estimate effect sizes. The data will be examined for normality. Parametric tests (One-sample t-test, ANOVA) will be applied to data that show normal distribution, and nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, Friedman test) will be applied to data that do not show normal distribution.

Travelbee's Human-to-Human Relationship Theory-Based Geriatric Nursing Training Program
The Travelbee Human-to-Human Relationship Theory-Based Geriatric Health Nursing Education Program has established objectives that nursing students can achieve upon completion, aligned with the program's content. These objectives are included in the program content. The educational program consists of six sessions. Session 1: Initial Encounter Stage (Gamification (Taboo Game Cards) Session 2: Initial Encounter Stage (Nursing Home Visit) Session 3: Emergence of Identities Stage (Standard Patient Simulation) Session 4: Empathy Stage (Aging Simulation Suit) Session 5: Sympathy Stage (Photo-based Case Generation Activity) Session 6: Adaptation (Friendly Relationship) Stage (Role-reversal activity)
