Study Overview
Brief Summary
Strengthening cultural sensitivity and compassion plays a critical role in reducing health inequalities, especially for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. This study is designed to determine the effect of an educational program based on the Theory of Planned Behavior on the cultural sensitivity and compassion levels of nursing students. The study, planned as a parallel-group, single-blind, randomized pre-test-post-test controlled experimental design, will include a total of 80 students, with 40 students in each group. The intervention group will receive an educational program based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, in modules over four weeks. Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 27.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA).
