Decision Making: Traditional Method

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making: P-value Method

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...

Decision Making

Decision Making

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

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...

Critical Thinking II

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

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. 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...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Digital Learning Technologies

Background:

Medical schools increasingly adopt student-centered learning.
E-learning offers a valuable method for developing clinical decision-making skills through case-based scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate an e-learning module designed to enhance clinical decision-making skills.
To assess the module's effectiveness as a self-directed study tool for final-year medical students.

Main Methods:

Developed an e-learning module with 10 real patient cases integrated into the CASUS® virtual patient system.
Recruited 522 final-year medical students from three terms; participants completed pre- and post-module self-assessments and an evaluation form.

Main Results:

Low participation rate (30%); fewer completed questionnaires.
Participating students appreciated the online cases and disease relevance.
Improved self-assessed clinical decision-making skills were observed only in first-term students, who initially had lower scores.

Conclusions:

Participating students reported satisfaction and motivation.
Enhanced integration into the clinical curriculum and examination linkage could improve learning outcomes.
E-learning shows potential for developing clinical decision-making skills but requires strategic implementation.
