Dear Editor,
Selection of appropriate learning strategies in the design of learning is important issues in medical and health education. Therefore, it can help students absorb new information more deeply and connected with new ideas or new experience. Film in education can be categorized into two, namely film education (referring to film production) and education through film (using film as an instructional methodology).[1] Film can be used in teaching the values of professionalism in medical and allied health students. Film creates trends, has a tremendous influence on learning, and is a significant teaching method.[2] Therefore, film can be used as a teaching and learning method in nursing education because it can help develop awareness, disseminate information, and train students in health sciences as potential health professionals.
In our study, we conducted a pilot cross-sectional, quantitative survey in an Indonesian university among 199 undergraduate students completing a healthcare degree in nursing for family health nursing subjects. Students were required to watch nine films recommended by the International Family Nursing Association.[3] To evaluate the association between the films depicting families experiencing different aspects of healthcare and student ability to provide nursing care, the survey was designed using the Grading Criteria for Family Assessment Paper,[4] Language Scale, and Communication Rating Scale,[5] respectively. Our findings demonstrated that the majority of nursing students found the teaching resource complementary or more useful compared to a lecture although less so compared to a tutorial. Students' self-assessment of learning according to the Grading Nursing Care Criteria indicated that the filmed was a valuable learning tool. After we performed data analysis using analysis of variance from the group of students after receiving nine films, we found that there was no significant difference on learning levels of students after reviewing each film that we used in this study (P = 0.308; F = 1.253). We also performed a comparison between cinema education model with classical learning model and the result indicated that students reported higher levels of learning with cinema education model compared to classical learning model in their language and communication ability (P ≤ 0.001; F = 32.99).
Students are able to recognize the dimensions of communication, including empathy, doctor's personal interests, and palliative care in a film, so they are able to think about their attitudes toward life and death.[6] Students' self-reports about the benefits of learning from the use of simulated clinical scenarios in the films as teaching resources included improved critical thinking skills and conceptualization of knowledge related to pharmacology.[7] Therefore, it is important to use films as a complement media for teaching and learning methods. Meanwhile, the communication skills of nursing students improved after the administration of film-watching interventions for 5 weeks of learning.[5] Furthermore, watching films with clinical content can improve family assessment skills in students in family nursing.[4]
