Students' Perceptions of a Poem to Evaluate Learning: A Qualitative Study
The Journal of Nursing Education
|October 4, 2017
Summary
Incorporating poetry into nursing exams helps students think critically and compassionately, simulating real patient encounters. This innovative approach offers a deeper learning evaluation than traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Qualitative Research
- Medical Humanities
Background:
- Uncertainty exists regarding the optimal use of poetry in nursing education.
- This study investigated student perceptions of using poetry in an advanced physical assessment course examination.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore graduate nursing students' views on integrating poetry into a final examination.
- To assess poetry's potential as an evaluation tool in advanced physical assessment.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research design.
- Data collected through private interviews with seven graduate nursing students.
- Thematic analysis of interview data.
Main Results:
- Identified themes: Being There, Think More, and Feeling Rushed.
- Students endorsed poetry as a learning assessment tool.
- Poetry was perceived to simulate patient encounters and encourage deeper thinking.
Conclusions:
- Poetry may foster critical and compassionate thinking in nursing students.
- Poetic evaluation could offer a more authentic reflection of nursing practice compared to traditional methods.
- Further research is necessary to determine poetry's optimal role in nursing curricula.

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,...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.5K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Qualitative analysis is the process of identifying elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first and most fundamental type of analysis based on the hierarchy of analytical goals. This hierarchy is significant as it provides a structured approach to scientific research, with qualitative analysis serving as the initial step, providing essential information before moving on to quantitative or other forms of analysis.

For solutions containing mixtures of different cations, the identity of each cation can be determined by qualitative analysis. This technique involves a series of selective precipitations with different chemical reagents, each reaction producing a characteristic precipitate for a specific group of cations. Metal ions within a group are further separated by varying the pH, heating the mixture to redissolve a precipitate, or adding other reagents to form complex ions.
For instance, group IV...

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
