Clinical trials

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a connection-enhancement program on resilience, perceived stress, burnout, and intention to stay among newly employed Generation Z nurses in a military hospital. Approximately 80 eligible nurses will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The control group will receive conventional orientation education for newly employed nurses, whereas the intervention group will receive the connection-enhancement program in addition to conventional orientation education. The intervention will be delivered over four weeks, with one 50-60-minute session per week. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention using self-reported questionnaires and salivary cortisol measurements.

This multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to develop and evaluate two Smart Holistic Health Care Platforms (SHHCPs) for families of children with cancer in Taiwan: the Parent Smart Holistic Health Care Platform (P-SHHCP) for parents and the Child Smart Holistic Health Care Platform (C-SHHCP) for children. Children diagnosed with leukemia or brain tumors and their primary caregivers (parents) will be recruited from pediatric oncology and hematology units at four medical centers in northern Taiwan. The SHHCPs are designed to strengthen communication and connection between families and health care providers and to provide holistic support for physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs during cancer treatment.The study will evaluate the effects of the P-SHHCP and C-SHHCP on the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being of children with cancer and their parents during treatment.

This research plan aims to establish an effectiveness assessment system for promoting clinical communication, empathy, and emotion regulation in pediatric nursing students through a combination of AI communication simulation and human library narrative. This study sets five specific objectives: 1. To develop and implement a pediatric nursing teaching model that integrates AI communication simulation and human library narrative. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of this teaching model in improving nursing students' clinical communication skills. 3. To examine the effectiveness of this teaching intervention in enhancing nursing students' empathy. 4. To explore the impact of this teaching intervention on nursing students' emotion regulation abilities. 5. To understand students' learning experiences, feelings, changes in emotion regulation, and suggestions for improvement regarding this integrated teaching intervention.
