DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 6. Project Summary Abstract Currently 17 percent of the total U.S. nursing work force is foreign-born. Many of these highly qualified professionals speak U.S. English as a second language and struggle to communicate effectively with clients and colleagues. The Intercultural Communication Workshop (hereafter, ICW), is a multimedia, internet-based educational tool designed to improve the overall communicative competence of foreign- born nurses. ICW Phase I integrates instruction in speech intelligibility with contextual information about communication, culture, and healthcare in the U.S. In Phase II, the user interface and navigation will be refined based on the findings of the Phase I field trial and the content will be expanded to address the language needs of diverse native speakers. Interactive role-play simulations will provide opportunities to practice new communication strategies. A multi-method, multi-measure two-group randomized controlled trial will be used to evaluate the educational effectiveness of the ICW, using an "intent-to- teach" approach analogous to the "intent-to-treat" approach for evaluations of effectiveness of biomedical interventions. Successful completion of ICW and a satisfactory demonstration of educational effectiveness will result in a new, low-cost, efficient resource for foreign-born nurses and their employers, lead to gains in speech intelligibility and communication skills in U.S. English for foreign-born nurses, enhance the intrinsic rewards of their profession for foreign-born nurses, and ultimately improve retention of foreign-born nurses in challenging and rewarding positions in the healthcare workforce. ICW will also yield two online assessment tools that facilitate the work of second-language acquisition and speech & language professionals. The use of computer-based training to improve the speech intelligibility and communication skills of foreign-born nurses addresses NINR's strategic plan for "Adopting, adapting and generating new technologies for better health care."

描述（由申请人提供）： 6. 项目摘要 摘要 目前，美国护理人员总数的 17% 是外国出生的。这些高素质专业人士中的许多人以美式英语为第二语言，很难与客户和同事进行有效沟通。跨文化交流研讨会（以下简称ICW）是一种基于互联网的多媒体教育工具，旨在提高外国出生护士的整体交际能力。 ICW 第一阶段将语音清晰度教学与美国沟通、文化和医疗保健的背景信息相结合。在第二阶段，用户界面和导航将根据第一阶段现场试验的结果进行完善，内容将扩展到满足不同母语人士的语言需求。交互式角色扮演模拟将为练习新的沟通策略提供机会。一项多方法、多测量的两组随机对照试验将用于评估 ICW 的教育效果，使用类似于评估“意向治疗”方法的“意向教学”方法。生物医学干预措施的有效性。 ICW 的成功完成以及教育效果的令人满意的展示将为外国出生的护士及其雇主带来新的、低成本、高效的资源，从而提高外国出生的护士的美式英语语音清晰度和沟通技巧，提高外国出生护士职业的内在回报，并最终提高外国出生护士在医疗保健劳动力中具有挑战性和回报性职位的保留率。 ICW 还将推出两种在线评估工具，以促进第二语言习得以及言语和语言专业人员的工作。使用基于计算机的培训来提高外国出生的护士的语言清晰度和沟通技巧，符合 NINR 的“采用、适应和产生新技术以提供更好的医疗保健”的战略计划。
