Summary
Concept mapping significantly enhances nursing education performance. This metacognitive strategy improves critical thinking and decision-making skills for students and nurses, boosting educational outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Metacognitive Strategies
- Educational Psychology
Background:
- Concept mapping is a metacognitive approach that enhances critical thinking and decision-making skills.
- Its application in nursing education can potentially improve student and nurse performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and meta-analyze the effect of the concept map approach in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published until September 2024, adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
- Searched databases including MagIran, SID, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
- Assessed heterogeneity using the I² index and publication bias using Egger's regression intercept.
Main Results:
- Included 44 articles with 1722 participants in the intervention group and 1712 in the control group.
- Concept mapping significantly increased educational performance scores compared to the control group [95% CI: (1.693 ± 0.194), P < 0.001].
- Subgroup analysis indicated a trend towards greater positive effects in nursing students than in working nurses, though not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
Conclusions:
- Concept mapping significantly improves nursing education performance.
- Findings support the use of concept mapping as an effective educational strategy in nursing.
- Results can inform educational and therapeutic policy decisions in nursing.

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.

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

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,...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.6K
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.
