“…To be successful, a comprehensive intervention would involve all aspects impacting the patient care process in relation to Ramadan. One strategy for this is to use RAMCOM along with AIDET, a communication framework that has been shown to improve patient satisfaction and increase the ability of the patient to participate in their care [42,43]. The acronym AIDET 1 stands for five communication behaviors: Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanation, and Thank You [44].…”

Fasting during the month of Ramadan is a basic pillar of Islam. While patients may be religiously exempted from fasting, literature indicates that the majority decide to fast. Caring for millions of Muslim patients who decide to fast during Ramadan can be challenging for clinicians around the globe. This study proposes a communication tool, RAMCOM, which aims to assist clinicians in communicating with Muslim patients considering fasting during Ramadan. It addresses the following questions: What are the clinicians' preferences for the tool in terms of Content, Format, Style, Length and language? How do clinicians perceive factors that would impact their intentions to sue the tool? What would facilitate the implementation and dissemination of the proposed tool? Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of clinicians in Egypt (11) and the US (10). Clinicians were purposefully sampled to assure variance in age, gender, time in practice, specialty, and religious background. Directed content analysis was conducted and emerging data were mapped to constructs within the theory of planned behavior. Iterative sampling and analysis continued until saturation was reached. Results In total, 21 clinicians were interviewed. The tool was iteratively revised according to clinicians' comments on format, content, language and usability. Factors contributing to using RAMCOM included perception of tool (need for use, perceived burden of use), perceived norm (perceived patient expectations), and ability to use tool (time, frequency of seeing patients, knowledge of Ramadan and Islam). Practice environment factors that impact the use of RAMCOM include education, early reminders, colored laminated copies, communication training, involvement of support staff, and patient education.

“…The use of AIDET benefits both patients and student nurses. The structured approach fosters clear communication, reducing misunderstandings and contributing to a more positive and supportive patient journey (Register et al, 2020 ). Research underlines the importance of acknowledging patients’ emotions and providing clear explanations.…”

“…This aligns with patient-centered care by encouraging empathy and understanding patients’ needs (Palombi et al, 2015 ). Patients benefit from feeling heard, respected, and engaged in their care through clear explanations and expressions of gratitude (Register et al, 2020 ). This focus on communication aligns with Heidegger’s concept of understanding in human existence (Heidegger, 1927 ).…”

Background: Effective communication is vital in nursing, influencing patient safety, satisfaction, and care quality. The AIDET framework is a proven tool for reducing patient anxiety and enhancing their experience. However, perceptions and experiences of Filipino nursing students with AIDET remain unexplored. Objective: This study explored Filipino nursing students’ use of AIDET, focusing on benefits, challenges, and improvements. Methods: A qualitative, interpretive phenomenological approach informed by the philosophy of Martin Heidegger was employed. This 2023 study, conducted at a university in Angeles City, Philippines, explored Filipino nursing students’ experiences with the AIDET communication framework. Thirty participants were purposefully selected to participate in facilitated discussions following a semi-structured interview guide. Thematic content analysis of the transcribed audio recording identified recurring themes in their narratives, focusing on the meanings they ascribed to their experiences using AIDET. Results: Four themes emerged: (a) Streamlined nurse-patient interaction (organizes communication, rapport building, alleviate anxiety, acknowledgment, and empowerment as sub-themes), (b) Enhances patient-centered care (empathy and compassion, improved patient experience as sub-topics), (c) Challenges with specific patient populations (patient preferences, language barrier, patient condition, acknowledgment of cultural differences as sub-themes), and (d) AIDET in nursing education strengthening application through practice, optimizing frequency and timing, promoting deeper understanding, enhancing feedback mechanism) as student nurses’ recommendations. Conclusion: Early integration of AIDET in nursing education is essential for student nurses to enhance communication, improve patient satisfaction, and deliver patient-centered care, equipping them with valuable communication skills.

“…According to Andersen et al (2019), simulations with VR technology with self-assessment features can improve clinical skills performance in a safe environment and accelerate the learning curve to reduce the time needed to learn. Qualitative feedback features in the form of detailed explanations of each answer option, both right and wrong answers, need to be considered for further VRS development, to enhance VRS's ability to facilitate independent learning and assist users in shaping reasoning abilities (de Souza Silveiraa and Cogob, 2017;Ferguson et al, 2017;Register et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: Simulation of nursing care in patients with acute respiratory infections (ARI) requires a method that is high fidelity. This study aims to determine the impact of Virtual Reality Simulation (VRS), as a learning method, on the improvement of cognitive abilities of undergraduate nursing students in conducting nursing care of the ARI case. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with pre and post-test on the control and intervention group. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, with a total of 27 respondents divided into nine respondents in each group, including the control group (group A) intervention group (Group B and C). There were three different methods in the implementation of VRS as learning activities. Data were analyzed by ANCOVA test. Results: The results showed a significant impact on the application of VRS as a learning method with p <0.05 (0.025). Conclusion: This significant impact was obtained in the implementation of VRS as a stand-alone learning method.
