Critical Thinking I

Critical 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...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Skills Training

Background:

Practical skills like venepuncture and suturing are crucial for medical professionals but receive limited undergraduate curriculum time.
Skills teaching often relies on senior healthcare professionals, with workshops initially lacking structure and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

To improve the effectiveness and student engagement of basic suturing skills workshops.
To evaluate the impact of integrating modern educational theories into practical skills training.

Main Methods:

Adapted existing 'after-work' suturing workshops at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Incorporated principles from modern educational theories, such as Gagné's work, into workshop delivery.

Main Results:

Students reported significantly higher enjoyment of the revised workshops.
Participants achieved proficiency in suturing at an accelerated rate compared to previous sessions.

Conclusions:

Integrating modern educational theory into practical skills workshops enhances student experience and learning outcomes.
Minor, non-labor-intensive adjustments to teaching methods can substantially improve the impact of medical skills training.
