In the dynamic healthcare landscape, nurses must develop life skills beyond clinical expertise to provide effective patient care and ensure professional growth. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a structured life skills training program for first-year B.Sc. Nursing students in Tamil Nadu, India. This true experimental pre-test-post-test design study was conducted in six randomly selected nursing colleges in Trichy district, Tamil Nadu. The sample included 257 first-year B.Sc. Nursing students, with 126 in the experimental group and 131 in the control group. The eight-week Life Skills Training Program consisted of weekly two-hour sessions. The experimental group showed significant improvements in critical thinking (F=64.26, p<0.001), decision making (F=35.02, p<0.001), problem solving (F=77.54, p<0.001) and coping with emotions (F=39.03, p<0.001) compared to the control group. Associations were found between life skills and socio-demographic variables such as the number of friends, hobbies, reason for choosing nursing and interest in the course.
在动态变化的医疗环境中，护士必须培养临床专业技能以外的生活技能，以提供有效的患者护理并确保职业发展。本研究评估了针对印度泰米尔纳德邦第一年护理学学士学生的结构化生活技能培训计划的有效性。这项真实验性的前测-后测设计研究在泰米尔纳德邦蒂鲁吉拉伯利地区随机选取的六所护理学院进行。样本包括257名第一年护理学学士学生，其中实验组126名，对照组131名。为期八周的生活技能培训计划包括每周两小时的课程。与对照组相比，实验组在批判性思维（F = 64.26，p < 0.001）、决策（F = 35.02，p < 0.001）、解决问题（F = 77.54，p < 0.001）和情绪应对（F = 39.03，p < 0.001）方面有显著改善。研究发现生活技能与社会人口统计学变量之间存在关联，如朋友数量、爱好、选择护理专业的原因以及对该课程的兴趣。
