Summary
Team-based learning with reflection journals effectively enhances nursing students' critical thinking skills in Women's Health Nursing education. This teaching strategy shows promise for improving key cognitive abilities in future nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Traditional nursing education models require innovative approaches to foster critical thinking.
- Team-based learning (TBL) is a collaborative pedagogical strategy gaining traction in higher education.
- Reflection journals offer a structured method for students to process and analyze learning experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) incorporating reflection journals for nursing students.
- To assess the impact of this blended approach on critical thinking and other cognitive skills in Women's Health Nursing.
- To determine the applicability of TBL with reflection journals as a teaching strategy in undergraduate nursing programs.
Main Methods:
- A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized study design was employed with 140 third-year undergraduate nursing students.
- The experimental group (n=70) participated in TBL with reflection journals on pregnancy nursing, while the control group (n=70) received TBL only.
- Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and independent t-test.
Main Results:
- The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in critical thinking compared to the control group (t=2.03, p=.044).
- No significant differences were observed between the groups in problem-solving, self-leadership, or academic self-efficacy.
- These findings suggest a specific benefit of the TBL with reflection journal intervention on critical thinking.
Conclusions:
- Team-based learning combined with reflection journals is an effective educational strategy for enhancing critical thinking among nursing students.
- This pedagogical approach holds potential for improving specific cognitive skills crucial for Women's Health Nursing.
- Further research could explore the long-term effects and applicability across different nursing specializations.

1.8K
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,...

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...

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

1.3K
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

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...
