Introduction:
Nurses are often encouraged to engage in critical reflection to connect experience with the facilitation of learning. Diary writing has been used to improve self-awareness, critical analysis, cognitive learning and clinical reasoning.
Objective:
To describe the characteristics of the learning process during an educational programme combining advanced clinical practice and research.
Methodology:
A descriptive qualitative study using convenience sampling was conducted. Data collected between February and May 2022 were analysed using thematic analysis.
Results:
The sample consisted of 17 nurses. The components of the learning process that emerged were emotional conditions, organisation, critical thinking, relationships and discussion, and role and responsibility.
Conclusions:
Active participation in a research project encouraged nurses to question themselves, formulate hypotheses and develop critical thinking.
