Summary
This study found nursing students struggled with analysis and synthesis when creating nursing diagnoses. Early development of critical thinking skills is recommended for better diagnostic abilities.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Reasoning
Context:
- Focuses on the teaching of diagnostic skills to nursing students.
- Examines the relationship between analysis/synthesis and nursing diagnosis formulation.
Purpose:
- To verify the adequacy of the analysis and synthesis process in establishing nursing diagnoses.
- To identify challenges faced by students in the diagnostic process.
Summary:
- Nursing students developed 106 nursing diagnoses (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association Taxonomy I) based on a hypothetical case.
- Key difficulties were encountered in establishing relationships and data clustering during the diagnostic process.
- The study highlights the importance of the RISNER (1986) diagnostic process.
Impact:
- Suggests stimulating analytical and synthetic thinking from the start of undergraduate nursing programs.
- Aims to improve the quality and accuracy of nursing diagnoses made by future nurses.
