Introduction: Collaborative training of communication skills for intensive care nurses leads to the improvement of nursing service quality and their effective communication at the bedside. The aim of this study was to provide communication skills training as a low-cost yet effective strategy to improve the quality of nursing care.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2023 with the participation of 70 intensive care unit nurses, divided into two groups of 35 (intervention and control), in the intensive care units of Khatam al-Anbiya and Iran hospitals in Iranshahr. Random sampling was used. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Queen-Dom communication skills questionnaire, completed by nurses before and one month after the intervention. The intervention group attended four training sessions on communication skills. The translation of the sentence you provided into English is. To analyze the data, SPSS 25 software was used, employing univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for the total score and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) for the subscales of the Quinn Communication Skills instrument.
Results: The mean total communication skills score in the intervention group increased from 115/4 ± 9/2 in the pre-test to 137/2 ± 8/7 in the post-test, while the control group showed a slight increase from 114/7 ± 8/8 to 117/0 ± 8/9. ANCOVA results indicated that the difference in post-test mean scores between the two groups was statistically significant.
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that collaborative and workshop-based communication skills training significantly improved the communication skills of intensive care nurses in Iranshahr. Therefore, it seems essential for nursing managers to focus on organizing educational programs to enhance these skills.
