Due to children's limited language development and emotional regulation abilities, coupled with parents' high level of involvement, nursing students often experience anxiety, lack of confidence, and avoidance behaviors, which negatively affect their clinical learning outcomes and the establishment of therapeutic relationships. Therefore, providing effective communication support strategies is essential in pediatric nursing education. This study aims to implement an instructional scaffolding model using artificial intelligence (AI)-generated empathy maps to enhance the communication skills, empathy performance, and grit of nursing students during pediatric clinical practicums when encountering communication challenges.\n\nA mixed-methods research design was adopted, and the participants were third-year nursing students enrolled in a pediatric nursing practicum course. The teaching intervention included AI-assisted generation of age-appropriate communication strategies, the construction of a grit-oriented empathy map, small group scenario-based exercises, and the application of learned strategies in clinical settings. Quantitative data were collected using pre- and post-intervention assessments, including an empathy scale, a communication skills scale, and a grit scale, to evaluate changes in learning outcomes. Qualitative data, including reflective journals, clinical observations, and focus group interviews, were analyzed to explore students' learning processes and strategy adaptations. Triangulation was applied to strengthen the validity of the findings.\n\nIt is anticipated that this teaching model will enhance students' understanding of pediatric patients' emotional needs, strengthen their communication strategy application and clinical interaction quality, and promote persistence and adaptability in challenging situations.

Digital stories are often created and shared to generate awareness about a problem, impart knowledge on contemporary issues, or promote compassion. The practice of sharing critical life events and insights provided by these experiences are valuable for tellers and the listeners alike for catharsis, healing, reconciliation, and connectiveness. Portrayals of mental suffering are a matter of cultural and social interest as new media products become available to the public. Studies published since the 1990s overwhelmingly conclude that formal media depictions are biased, promoting the stereotype that people who suffer emotionally are mentally ill, dangerous, violent, or insane. Various agencies, organizations, and corporations are actively working to provide alternative stories\u002Fnarratives to mainstream media by means of video testimonials in social marketing and fundraising campaigns and, ultimately, by taking advantage of the Internet. The impact of this work is under-researched. However, preliminary evaluations of social marketing campaigns report mixed results and raise questions about their effectiveness. As well, the first-person narrative prepared digitally and shared online is also providing alternative narratives to mainstream media stories. People are increasingly using digital videos to share their stories, viewing this as an opportunity to understand their emotions and thoughts, come to terms with disgrace around sensitive, personal issues and marginalization while providing hope and encouragement to others. This proposed study focuses on the process of creating digital narratives\u002Fstories, especially stories of mental and emotional suffering, and their impact in terms of inciting empathy, compassion, and good citizenship among viewers.",[319,320,321,322,29],"Mental Disorders, Severe","Mental Illness","Stigma, Social","Compassion",[324,325,326,327,328,329,320],"Digital Narratives","Digital Testimonials","Digital Stories","Social Marketing","Fundraising campaigns","Stigma","2024-07-25",{"date":332,"type":36},"2024-07-29",{"date":334,"type":36},"2024-04-01",{"date":336,"type":21},"2024-12-30",{"name":338,"class":43},"McGill University",{"id":340,"slug":341,"hasResults":11,"nctId":342,"briefTitle":343,"officialTitle":344,"acronym":345,"eligibilityCriteria":346,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":347,"enrollmentInfo":348,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":116,"phases":4,"briefSummary":350,"conditions":351,"keywords":356,"overallStatus":69,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":360,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":361,"startDateStruct":363,"completionDateStruct":365,"leadSponsor":367,"locationsCount":4},"100473647","role-of-empathy-in-curative-treatment-outcomes-of-non-metastatic-colorectal-cancer-100473647","NCT05447611","Role of Empathy in Curative Treatment Outcomes of Non-metastatic Colorectal Cancer.","Role of Empathy in the Outcome of Curative Treatment of Non-metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
