Strategies to promote deep learning in clinical nursing courses

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Cognitive Psychology

Background:

• Effective long-term memory retention is crucial for nursing students.
• Traditional teaching methods may not optimize long-term recall of complex nursing concepts.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the efficacy of deep-learning strategies in improving nursing students' long-term memory retention.
• To document the specific deep-learning techniques employed and their impact on learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of selected deep-learning strategies in a nursing curriculum.
• Assessment of student learning outcomes related to long-term memory retention of nursing concepts.

Main Results:

• The implemented deep-learning strategies positively influenced students' long-term memory retention.
• Specific learning outcomes associated with the strategies are detailed.

Conclusions:

• Deep-learning strategies offer a promising approach to enhance long-term memory retention in nursing education.
• Further research can explore the broader application and optimization of these strategies.
