Detailed description
This study aims to investigate the impact of a transition shock program on career entrenchment and readiness for interprofessional learning among newly graduated nurses. Hypotheses: H1: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly lower transition shock scores compared to the control group. H2: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly lower career entrenchment scores compared to the control group. H3: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly higher readiness for interprofessional learning scores compared to the control group. H4: There will be a significant interaction effect between time (pre-test vs. post-test) and group (study vs. control), where the study group will show greater improvement in readiness for interprofessional learning and greater reduction in transition shock and career entrenchment compared to the control group.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTransition Shock skills
* Assign experienced nurse mentors to new graduates. * Conduct weekly one-on-one meetings for the first three months, then biweekly for ongoing support. * Discuss challenges, successes, and strategies for coping with difficult situations. * Provide case study reviews where mentors guide mentees through real-world nursing scenarios. * Skills Applied: interpersonal communication. 2. Peer Support Groups * Content: * Establish weekly or biweekly group discussions where nurses share challenges and coping strategies. * Use reflective journaling prompts to encourage discussion. * Introduce role-playing exercises for dealing with complex patients, staff conflicts, and ethical dilemmas.
