Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 20
Maximum age (years): 50

Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: The course includes five online teaching and learning modules and two hours of offline teaching and learning, using MOOCs/SPOCs online teaching system and constructs on the Chinese Open Education platform. For this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 150 nurses working in a medical center in northern Taiwan were recruited and randomized into 2 groups. The experimental group (n=75) received the Nightingale in Gen-sEx course. The control group (n=75) received without course. Data were collected at baseline, 1month, and 3 months after the course.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: This is a three-year research project. The goal is to develop and test "The SPOC-based blended teaching and learning platform (Nightingale in Gen-sEx)" that integrates effective educational strategies and e-learning methods to meet the Taiwanese nurse's learning needs. This project is aimed at resolving sexual education learning problems in nursing continuing education due to the time constraints at clinical sites and the shortage of teaching staff. Nurse-patient communication attitudes and skills about sex will be enhanced.

Detailed description: The research team constructed a course for hospital nurses that followed the commonly used ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The first year research purpose is to: (1) explore the characteristics of nursing-patient communication about sex and the core educational needs content for nurses using triangulation methods. (2) Construct gender-sensitivity structures characteristics of nursing-patient communication about sex and course framework according to the modified Delphi method results and course needs assessment. The second year develops the SPOC-based blended teaching and learning platform (E-generation Angel of Happiness") and conducts a pilot study to test and correct the course content and method. In the third year a pretest-posttest randomized control group design will be implemented to investigate the effectiveness of the course "E-generation Angel of Happiness" in improving competencies of nurse-patient communication about sex, including attitudes, and practices, among nurses.
