Summary
Art gallery visits enhance nursing students' understanding of interpersonal relations. This experiential learning method improves observations and interpretations in nursing practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Experiential Learning
- Art Therapy
Background:
- Interpersonal relations are crucial in nursing.
- Traditional methods may not fully capture the nuances of human experience.
- Art offers a unique lens for exploring complex human interactions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and evaluate an art gallery-based experiential teaching-learning method in nursing education.
- To explore the use of art as a tool for understanding interpersonal relations in nursing.
Main Methods:
- Experiential learning framework (Dewey, Burnard).
- Three-phase pedagogical approach: observation, conceptualization, reflection.
- Art gallery visits with nursing students (N=206) focusing on metaphoric expressions of interpersonal relations.
Main Results:
- Art served as a powerful teaching-learning tool for understanding interpersonal relations.
- Students successfully related art interpretations to nursing contexts.
- The method facilitated deeper comprehension of complex human interactions.
Conclusions:
- Art gallery programs significantly enhance nursing students' observations of interpersonal dynamics.
- This experiential approach improves the understanding and application of interpersonal skills in nursing.
- Art-based learning provides valuable insights into the humanistic aspects of patient care.

01:29Aims Of Nursing
Nursing involves independent, cooperative, person-centered care for people of all ages, families, groups, and communities. Nurses assist the sick or the well person in all settings. Nursing includes promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for ill, disabled, and dying people. Health promotion encourages people to take responsibility for their health. It focuses on the healthy behavior of individuals, families, and the community and the factors that impact their health. Examples of...

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
