Abstract

    The promotion of peer consulting characteristics according to contemplative education helps enhance the heart and wisdom of a consultant. It also turns a consultant himself into a medium that can effectively support those with mental disorders. This research was a quasi-experimental research with control and experimental groups. The objective was to explore the effects of the Peer Consulting Characteristics Promotion Program under the concept of contemplative education among second-year nursing students. Fifty-two nursing students were randomly selected by using a simple random sampling method: 26 students in the experimental group and 26 students in the control group. The study was conducted from March to May 2018. The experimental group was advised by the Peer Consulting Characteristics Promotion Program according to contemplative education, whereas the control group was advised by the standard program. The research instruments consisted of the Peer Consulting Characteristics Promotion Program according to contemplative education, personal information questionnaire, and the evaluation form of peer consulting characteristics according to contemplative education created from the review of literature with a reliability value of 0.91. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test statistics.

The findings suggested that the mean scores of peer consulting characteristics in various aspects, including consulting knowledge, consulting attitudes, and consultants’ personality were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. In addition, after receiving the program, the experimental group obtained higher scores in the post-experimental test, with a statistical significance of 0.05.

The results indicated that the promotion of peer consulting characteristics according to contemplative education program could help promote the characteristics of peer consultants among nursing students, while they can also provide advice to fellow friends. As a result, the program shall be introduced as an extracurricular activity of the Faculty of Nursing to encourage the characteristics of peer consulting in a consistent and sustainable manner.
