Teaching Diagnostic Reasoning: A Review of Evidence-Based Interventions
1Department of Biobehavioral Health Science, College of Nursing, The University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Abstract:
Problem/Background: The ability to accurately diagnose patients based on symptom profiles is a vital yet challenging skill that Nurse Practitioners (NPs) undertake frequently.
Purpose:
This integrative literature review highlights a variety of evidence based, practical educational strategies that foster the development of diagnostic reasoning.
Methods:
An integrative literature review was conducted in order to identify original research focusing on diagnostic reasoning educational interventions.
Results:
Eighteen primary sources met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results are synthesized in terms of sample and setting, methodological features, interventions, and outcomes. Interventions broadly fit into five educational themes: testing strategies, cognitive biases, simulation programs, course formats, and instructional approaches.
Discussion:
Interventions are simple and can be implemented in multiple educational settings. Future research should occur in populations of NP students. Validated, easy-to-use measurement tools as well as more precise diagnostic reasoning concept development should occur.
