Summary
Nursing students need motivation for pre-class preparation in flipped classrooms. Faculty can enhance this by communicating relevance, organizing learning platforms, and using engaging activities for evidence-based practice education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- The flipped classroom model is a student-centered approach increasingly used in nursing education.
- Student preparedness for class is crucial for the success of flipped classrooms.
- Faculty engagement is key to facilitating students' pre-class preparation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify nursing students' preferred pre-class preparation designs in large-group, flipped-classroom settings.
- To inform faculty-driven course design and delivery changes for evidence-based practice education.
Main Methods:
- Action research conducted with bachelor's nursing students.
- Data collection via questionnaires, focus group interviews, and class meetings.
- Sequential data analysis using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.
Main Results:
- A primary theme emerged: students require motivation for pre-class preparation.
- Sub-themes identified: clear communication of relevance and timely reminders (Information), effective learning platform and workload management (Organization), and diverse, interactive learning activities (Engage learners).
Conclusions:
- Faculty can foster motivation through clear communication, organized platforms, engaging activities, and reminders.
- Successful implementation requires coordinated faculty effort and commitment to student-centered learning.
- Further research is needed to optimize configurations for different educational contexts.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
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 insulin...
01:24Nursing 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.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
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...

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
02:01Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
01:15Nursing Evaluation
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.
