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。项目摘要目前的17％美国护理劳动力是外国出生的。这些高素质的专业人士中的许多人以美国英语为第二语言，并努力与客户和同事进行有效的沟通。跨文化传播研讨会（以下简称ICW）是一种基于互联网的多媒体教育工具，旨在提高外国出生的护士的整体交流能力。 ICW I阶段I将语音清晰度的指导与美国在第二阶段的美国通信，文化和医疗保健的上下文信息集成在一起，用户界面和导航将根据I阶段现场试验的发现进行完善，并将扩展内容以满足多样的母语人士的语言需求。互动角色扮演模拟将为实践新的沟通策略提供机会。多方法，多量化的两组随机对照试验将使用类似于“意图对治疗”方法来评估生物医学干预措施的有效性的“意图教学”方法，以评估ICW的教育有效性。成功完成ICW和对教育效力的令人满意的证明将为外国出生的护士及其雇主带来新的，低成本，有效的资源，从而提高了美国英语对外国出生护士的语音清晰度和沟通能力，增强了外国人护士的内在奖励，以提高外国人的职业，并最终提高外国护士的养育者的保健和有益的职务，并在挑战和有益的职位上，在挑战和有益的职位上。 ICW还将产生两种在线评估工具，以促进第二语言获取以及语音和语言专业人员的工作。利用基于计算机的培训来提高外国出生护士的语音清晰度和沟通技巧，以解决Ninr的战略计划，以“采用，适应和生成新技术以改善医疗保健”。
