Summary
Problem-based learning (PBL) offers a student-centered approach to complex problem-solving. This strategy effectively teaches experienced nurses the essential skills and attitudes needed for academic clinical instruction roles.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
Background:
- Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered instructional method.
- PBL involves students solving complex problems without definitive solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a strategy using PBL for teaching nursing education.
- To equip experienced nurses with knowledge, skills, and attitudes for academic clinical instructor roles.
Main Methods:
- Utilized problem-based learning scenarios.
- Focused on experienced nurses in a Master of Science in Nursing Education program.
Main Results:
- The strategy effectively teaches core competencies for clinical instruction.
- PBL facilitates the acquisition of necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Conclusions:
- Problem-based learning is a viable strategy for training academic clinical instructors in nursing.

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.

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...
01:26Modeling in Therapy
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:24Critical Thinking I
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...
