Critical Thinking II01:25

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:
Critical Thinking I01:24

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

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...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

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.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...
Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

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 safely...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Clinical Skills Development
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Delirium recognition is crucial for hospitalized adults.
  • Nurses require strong critical thinking skills to identify delirium.
  • Simulation-based education (SBE) is a potential tool to enhance these skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map how SBE supports critical thinking for nurse delirium recognition.
  • To synthesize evidence on SBE's impact on nurses' ability to recognize delirium.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review using Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
  • Data extracted by two independent reviewers.
  • Narrative synthesis of 14 included studies.

Main Results:

  • SBE consistently improved critical thinking skills (observation, reasoning, empathy).
  • Structured debriefing was key for integrating learning into clinical judgment.
  • Observed practice changes included better delirium tool use and documentation.

Conclusions:

  • SBE strengthens critical thinking for early delirium recognition and response.
  • Immersive, theory-informed simulation is valuable for clinical judgment in complex cases.
  • SBE is a practical strategy to improve delirium recognition and patient safety.
