Summary
This study shows a participatory teaching method effectively engaged nursing students with themes of death and dying. Students gained new perspectives on end-of-life care through personal reflection and professional exploration.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Thanatology
Background:
- Traditional teaching methods may not fully prepare nursing students for complex end-of-life care discussions.
- There is a need for innovative pedagogical approaches to address sensitive topics like death and dying in healthcare education.
Observation:
- A participatory teaching-learning method was applied to 22 undergraduate Nursing and Obstetrics students.
- The method incorporated personal experiences and professional prospects related to death and dying.
- Creative resources such as music, drawing, drama, and photography were utilized for data collection.
Findings:
- Students developed deeper meanings and critical reflections on death and nursing care.
- The participatory approach facilitated the resignification of personal and professional experiences concerning end-of-life themes.
- Learners actively engaged as protagonists in their educational journey.
Implications:
- The participatory method is applicable and effective for teaching sensitive end-of-life care topics.
- This approach empowers students to construct new perspectives on death, dying, and associated care.
- It fosters a more holistic and empathetic approach to nursing practice in end-of-life situations.

2.1K
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...

4.6K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.

Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

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.

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,...
