Nursing 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.

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...

  • Assessing nurse educators' critical thinking is essential for improving educational outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure and describe the critical thinking abilities and dispositions of nurse educators.
  • To explore nurse educators' perceptions and facilitators of critical thinking.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive, exploratory study utilizing the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) and California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST).
  • Quantitative data collection from 11 nurse educators; qualitative data from interviews with 6 participants.

Main Results:

  • Nurse educators scored highest in inquisitiveness (CCTDI) and inductive reasoning (CCTST).
  • Overall scores indicated a moderately high inclination and ability towards critical thinking.
  • Interviews revealed a preference for describing critical thinking and highlighted the impact of personal and environmental factors.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse educators possess a solid foundation in critical thinking, with specific strengths in inquisitiveness and inductive reasoning.
  • Facilitating critical thinking in nursing students is influenced by a complex interplay of individual and contextual elements for nurse educators.
