Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

1.7K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

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...

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

2.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Clinical Reasoning Development
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Clinical reasoning is a core competency for medical students.
  • Virtual patient (VP) systems are used to teach clinical reasoning but often focus on outcomes rather than the reasoning process.
  • Existing VP systems have not fully leveraged technology to enhance the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a tool that enhances virtual patient scenarios with specific activities and feedback.
  • To foster the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills by focusing on the reasoning process.
  • To build upon a previous qualitative study's findings on clinical reasoning education.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a tool translating a clinical reasoning learning framework into software requirements.
  • Enabled learners to construct patient illness scripts as concept maps within VP scenarios.
  • Utilized Medical Subject Headings for comparing student maps with expert reasoning.
  • Implemented the tool using web technologies with an open API for integration.

Main Results:

  • Usability tests and a pilot study involved 64 medical students.
  • Learners interacted with the tool, but created fewer concept map nodes and connections than experts.
  • Further research and usability testing are necessary to understand these differences.

Conclusions:

  • The developed tool is a modular software component supporting clinical reasoning skill acquisition.
  • It can be integrated into virtual patient systems or used independently.
  • The design allows for future expansion with feedback mechanisms and learning analytics.
