Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the impact of a transition shock program on career entrenchment and readiness for interprofessional learning among newly graduated nurses. Hypotheses: H1: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly lower transition shock scores compared to the control group. H2: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly lower career entrenchment scores compared to the control group. H3: After the intervention, the study group will report significantly higher readiness for interprofessional learning scores compared to the control group. H4: There will be a significant interaction effect between time (pre-test vs. post-test) and group (study vs. control), where the study group will show greater improvement in readiness for interprofessional learning and greater reduction in transition shock and career entrenchment compared to the control group.
