Reflective teaching helps nursing students experience health promotion behaviors, highlighting challenges and benefits. This approach improves understanding of patient behavioral change difficulties.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Promotion
- Experiential Learning
Background:
- Nurses' attitudes impact patient health promotion.
- Current nursing education lacks experiential health promotion practice.
- Experiential and reflective teaching can bridge this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nursing students' experiences with health-promoting learning.
- To identify factors influencing health-promoting learning using reflective teaching.
Main Methods:
- An explorative study integrated reflective teaching strategies.
- Fifty-seven nursing students participated in a health promotion course.
- Data collected via reflective journals and analyzed thematically.
Main Results:
- Common behaviors: regular exercise, healthy diet, adequate water intake.
- Student experiences: challenges ('easier said than done'), adjustment, continuation.
- Facilitating factors: accommodation, peer encouragement, support.
Conclusions:
- Reflective teaching provides valuable insights for nursing educators.
- Experiential learning enhances understanding of health behavior execution and patient challenges.
