RN-BSN과정 학생들을 위한 의사소통 교과목 운영전략

Abstract

Purpose: The study was designed to develop and examine the effects of a communication course for RN-BSN students.

Methods: The study was conducted from March 2007 to June 2007. The participants were 73 RN-BSN students but only 63 appropriate datum were analyzed. An 8 session communication program with lectures, music therapy, and group activity was performed. Instruments used for this study to verify effects were a Primary Communication Inventory, and Relationship Change Scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test. Also, content analysis was used to analyze the course evaluation from the students.

Results: The scores of communication(p<.05) and interpersonal relationship change(p<.01) increased significantly in the research group. In addition, the advantages for a developed communication course perceived by students were ’application to real life’, ’various and new educational methods’, ’sharing and interaction through group activity’, and ’relaxation and rest through music’. However, disadvantages identified were ’question about usefulness of music therapy’ and ’a feeling of a lack of lecture time’.

Conclusion: We recommend this type of course development utilizing various activity therapies to improve communication skills
