Summary
Problem-based learning (PBL) combined with mind mapping significantly improves nursing students' theoretical and practical scores, enhancing self-learning abilities. This teaching model is effective for nursing education in China.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Medical Education
Background:
- The problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model is increasingly explored in nursing education.
- Mind mapping is a cognitive tool that can enhance learning and knowledge organization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the combined effect of the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model and mind mapping on nursing teaching outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases for studies from 2000 to 2021.
- Included studies focused on the application of the PBL model in nursing education.
- A meta-analysis was performed on 8 randomized controlled studies using RevMan 5.3 software.
Main Results:
- The meta-analysis included 8 randomized controlled studies.
- Students in the experimental group showed significantly higher theoretical and practical test scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
- Students' self-learning ability was also significantly improved in the experimental group, though practical test scores exhibited high heterogeneity (I² = 76%).
Conclusions:
- The combination of PBL and mind mapping is an effective teaching model for nursing education in China.
- This approach enhances nursing students' mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
- The effectiveness may be influenced by various factors within practical teaching settings.

1.8K
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.

1.4K
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...

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,...

3.7K
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.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...
