Effectiveness of Pre-Clinical Delivery of Behaviour Modelling Training Method to Improve Caring of Nursing Students

Background: Caring behaviour is not only carried out by nurses but is also carried out by nursing students at the service practice stage in hospitals as the first place to learn about the values ​​and nature of their profession. Objective: The aim of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of preclinical debriefing using a behaviour modelling training model for nursing students to find basic strategies that can improve Caring behaviour in carrying out clinical practice in health services. Methods: This research includes pre-experimental research with a One Group Pretest-Post-test approach. The research subjects 27 level 1 nursing students.The collected data was processed statistically using the T test, a related analysis technique. Results: The statistical tests show significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores. For self-efficacy, the pre-test average was 17.89, increasing to 25.26 in the post-test (an increase of 7.37), with a t value of 32.660 and a p-value of 0.000 for clinical knowledge. For emotional regulation, the pre-test average was 10.22, rising to 14.22 (an increase of 4.00), with a t value of 39.618 and a p-value of 0.000. Both results indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The behaviour modelling training method has been proven to be applicable as a training model because it has a clear syntax for changing participant behaviour according to the expected goals.
