Summary
This study tested a teaching approach that combines real-life care scenarios with online learning and role-playing to help university students improve their elderly care skills. 38 students took part, and their knowledge, confidence, and ability to learn independently were measured before the course, after the course, and after an internship. The goal was to see if this teaching method leads to lasting improvements in caregiving abilities.
