Download or read book Improving Critical Thinking in Undergraduate Nursing Students written by Cathy L. Coram and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical thinking has been established as one of the key elements in developing excellent nurses and providing for patient safety. Improvement of critical thinking skills is essential to ensure patient safety as well as provide for the success of each professional nurse. Patient outcomes have been the focus of numerous research studies and correlation between critical thinking and clinical judgment has been demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to determine if critical thinking skills of undergraduate nursing students in a clinical setting could be improved. This was accomplished by utilizing Rosalinda Alfara-LeFevre's methods of developing critical thinking skills outlined in "Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment, A Practical Approach". The experimental group was encouraged, mentored and instructed on the 'how to' of critical thinking techniques. The control group was not given the additional tools. Comparison of the two groups at the beginning of the clinical rotation and again at the completion will allow data to be compiled for statistical analysis. The data will be collected by the use of self and peer evaluations of Critical Thinking Indicators including both knowledge and behavior aspects. This study will be qualitative and quantitative in nature. While the scope of this study is limited to senior level students in one program, it provides a framework within which further evaluation of critical thinking assessment can be accomplished.
