Development of a training programme to improve health literacy and respectful compassionate care competencies among undergraduate student nurses: a quantitative study
The development and implementation of an education program for undergraduate nursing students in Tanzania resulted in improved health literacy competencies. However, it did not produce the same outcome in competency development for respectful and compassionate care. Active inclusion and integration of respectful and compassionate care into the hospital setting with development of the learning environment can facilitate nurse's competency development. Supportive clinical learning environment boost students in their learning process.
