Main Article Content
Abstract
The research article consisted of the following objectives: 1) to analyze the elements of Buddhist psychology and the development of a model for enhancing the awakening of nurses; 2) to develop a model for enhancing the awakening of nurses; and 3) to evaluate a model for enhancing the awakening of nurses. The study used multiple methods which consisted of qualitative research method, advanced research method, confirmatory factor analysis, quantitative research method, and quasi-experiment.
From the study, it is found that a confirmatory factor analysis of nurses' awakening are a compassionate heart, awakened mind, life meaning, and spiritual insight. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed that it is congruent with empirical data at a high level, with the goodness of fit (GoF) as follows: X2=366.771, df=209, p = 0.50, GFI = 0.939, AGFI = 0.920.RMSEA = 0.0395. A Buddhist psychology model for enhancing nurses' awakening consists of 4 stages which are: 1) beginning; 2) developing the mind; 3) developing the mission; and 4) guiding the way of life based on Magga (the Path) by using 13 activities. From evaluating the efficiency of a model, it is found that experiment group has a higher average score of awakening than the control group whether it be post-experiment, the 1-month or 2-month follow-up phase. A model is found to be of the highest level of accuracy, propriety, feasibility, and utilization, demonstrating that a model is efficient enough to be implemented practically.
