PsyConnect: Constructing Layered Engagement for Optimal Learning in Clinical Education
The Journal of Nursing Education
|August 26, 2016
Summary
PsyConnect, a layered learning experience, improved nursing education by increasing student engagement and reducing clinical overcrowding. This approach enhanced teaching and learning for students, faculty, and nurses in mental health settings.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Mental Health Nursing
- Clinical Simulation
Background:
- Clinical overcrowding in behavioral care settings negatively impacts nursing education.
- Limited clinical sites and increased student numbers create significant challenges.
- Deterioration of the clinical teaching and learning experience affects students, faculty, and nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of PsyConnect, a multiplatform engagement learning experience.
- To address barriers in clinical education, including overcrowding and engagement.
- To improve the quality of teaching and learning in mental health nursing.
Main Methods:
- PsyConnect was implemented in a baccalaureate mental health nursing course.
- Surveys were administered to students, faculty, and nurses involved in campus simulation.
- Data analysis involved measures of central tendency and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Main Results:
- Setting rotations, clinical checklists, off-unit modules, and simulation improved educational experiences.
- Positive feedback was received from students, faculty, and participating nurses.
- The intervention demonstrated a positive impact on the overall learning environment.
Conclusions:
- PsyConnect effectively addressed critical barriers to high-quality clinical education.
- Layered, multiplatform, engagement-based learning is a viable solution for nursing education challenges.
- The findings support the integration of innovative learning strategies in mental health nursing.

2.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

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.

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...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
