The study was completed over a 12-month period. In the experimental group, when the nurses watched the documentary film, they evaluated the documentary film highly and reported an intention to change their transitional care practice and mind as a result of watching the documentary film. Following viewing, children and their parents felt more strongly that "children with dental problems should meet with a nurse early" and that "transitional care greatly impacts children oral health". As a result, a documentary film about oral transitional care is an effective educational tool to improve nurses' transitional care awareness among children about the importance and needs of children. The results suggest that if significant modifications are obtained, this approach can be an efficient way applicable to other contexts of patient care.展开更多
