Effects of Nursing Education Using Films on Perception of Nursing, Satisfaction With Major, and Professional Nursing Values

Abstract

Background Cinenurducation, a film-based approach to nursing education that incorporates student-centered, problem-solving, experiential, and reflective learning strategies, allows students to experience a variety of indirect experiences and improves critical thinking and self-reflection through discussion. Purpose The aims of this study were, first, to employ a cinenurducation approach to help instill a proper professional nursing identity in second-year nursing students and, second, to examine the effects of this approach on the perception of nursing, satisfaction with major, and professional nursing values of the participants. Methods An experimental, pretest-and-posttest design was used to test the primary variables, including perception of nursing, satisfaction with major, and professional nursing values. The nursing educational program was developed based on the learning concepts of cinenurducation and the core concepts of nursing. The program, which included six films, addressed the following concepts: Me Before You (problem solving and professionalism), Testament of Youth (nursing management and professionalism), Girl, Interrupted (interpersonal skills and nursing knowledge), Hungry Heart (interpersonal skills and problem solving), Iris (nursing knowledge and problem solving), and Chronic (nursing knowledge and cooperation). The experimental group ( n = 14) participated in the 8-week educational program, and the control group ( n = 15) did not. Results Perception of nursing, satisfaction with major, and professional nursing values all improved significantly more in the experimental group than in the control group, with large effects observed. Conclusions Cinenurducation is an effective approach to promoting professional nursing identity in nursing students. Educators should incorporate films into nursing education. In addition, nursing education should incorporate a variety of educational materials to provide students with opportunities for reflective learning.

Effects of Arts-Based Pedagogy on Competence Development in Nursing: A Critical Systematic Review

“…The sample includes five studies that used music as a teaching tool (e.g., [ 40 , 105 ]) or incorporated music into practical care [ 99 ]. Four studies examine the effects of cinenurducation [ 53 ] using movies as instructional material (e.g., [ 121 , 123 ]).…”

“…Ten studies examining the impact of arts-based pedagogy on attitudes toward others were analyzed (e.g., [ 96 , 104 , 116 , 131 ]), as well as five studies concerning attitudes toward other nursing issues (e.g., [ 112 , 128 ]). The research also covers complex concepts such as empathy, which is discussed in six studies (e.g., [ 93 , 122 , 132 ]), and professional identity, which is discussed in three (e.g., [ 103 , 121 ]).…”

The Effect of Professional Films on Professional Pride in Nursing Students-Randomized Controlled Study

“…Herman, Moore, and Anthony (2012) argue in their work that the use of clips or movies prompts self-re ection and encourages discussion about positive health behaviours. In this context, movies can provide real-life descriptions of subjects that are di cult to repeat in the classroom, and they can convey the message to the student much more clearly and give a humanistic element that can strengthen reality (24). In a study investigating the effects of having nursing students watch movies, the students stated that watching and discussing TV series in which nurses played an important role aroused a sense of pride in their chosen profession (25).…”

Development and Validation of a Self-Efficacy Scale for Nursing Educators’ Role in Sri Lanka

“…Teaching was the last factor of the SSNER-SL. In recent years, the philosophy of learning has been changing from traditional teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning [38]. Since self-directed learning is becoming increasingly popular in developed countries, nursing educators in developing countries should be prepared to guide their students' learning methods appropriately [29].…”
