Creative teaching methods improved nursing students' ability to identify problems and plan interventions. While not impacting factual recall, this approach significantly enhanced the application of theory in clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Pedagogy
  • Medical Training

Background:

  • Traditional didactic teaching methods are prevalent in nursing programs.
  • The effectiveness of creative teaching strategies in nursing education requires further investigation.
  • Integrating creative approaches may enhance clinical application of knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of creative teaching methods on nursing students' learning outcomes.
  • To determine if creative teaching improves assessment achievement and clinical application of knowledge.
  • To compare creative versus traditional didactic teaching in a nursing program.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups (20 students each).
  • Implemented creative teaching methods focusing on oxygenation and heart disease, using self-learning tools.

  • Evaluated learning through multiple-choice tests, essays, problem-solving, intervention exercises, and practical assessments.

    • Main Results:

    • Experimental groups showed no significant difference in factual recall (tests, essays) compared to control groups.
    • Creative teaching significantly improved problem identification and nursing intervention planning.
    • No difference in practical skill performance, but experimental groups better applied theory in practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Creative teaching methods enhance critical thinking and clinical application skills in nursing students.
    • While factual knowledge acquisition may not differ, creative approaches foster better problem-solving and theoretical application.
    • Nursing education can benefit from incorporating creative teaching strategies to improve clinical readiness.
