Brief summary: Objectives: To examine the differences in nursing student empathy, caring behaviour, and competence between the experimental and control groups before and after educational intervention, and to predict the factors affecting their core competencies.

Detailed description: Design: The investigators used a two-group pretest and post-test quasi-experimental design.

Setting: The experiment was conducted at a college in northern Taiwan. Participants: First-year nursing students from medical schools in Taiwan participated in our study.

Methods: Data were collected between March and May 2022. The learning method used with the intervention group was role-playing with videos and guided reflection. The control group was exposed to classroom lectures without video-recorded role-play and guided reflection. Empathy, caring behaviour, and competence were measured using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy- Healthcare Providers, the Caring Behaviours Scale, and the Nursing Student Competence Scale.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* (1) Students who were first-year nursing students at college,
* (2) could communicate using Mandarin or Taiwanese,
* (3) were willing to participate in this study and agreed to cooperate with the completion of the questionnaire.

Exclusion Criteria:

* deafness or a diagnosis of cognitive disorder according to various information sources, such as school health information and notification from parents.
