Abstract
Objectives: This prospective cohort study evaluated the effect of unfolding case-based learning on undergraduate nursing students' self-perceived clinical decision-making ability.
Methods: Students' self-reported responses to Jenkins's Clinical Decision Making in Nursing Scale were compared between the unfolding case-based learning cohort (n=140) and the comparison cohort (n=126) at a school of nursing in the United States.
Results: The results revealed similar students' responses between the two study cohorts. However, unfolding case-based learning significantly increased students' perceived proficiency in "search for information and unbiased assimilation of new information".
Conclusions: Findings from the present study highlight possibilities presented by unfolding case-based learning in undergraduate nursing education. The study supports that unfolding case studies can be introduced early on, and then nurtured throughout the undergraduate program to influence the development of nursing students' clinical decision-making skills.
目的:本前瞻性队列研究评估了基于案例的展开式学习对本科护理学生自我感觉临床决策能力的影响:这项前瞻性队列研究评估了基于案例的展开式学习对护理专业本科生自我感觉临床决策能力的影响:美国一所护理学院的学生对詹金斯的 "护理临床决策量表"(Clinical Decision Making in Nursing Scale)的自我报告进行了比较:结果显示,两组学生的回答相似。然而,基于案例的展开式学习显著提高了学生在 "搜索信息和无偏见地吸收新信息 "方面的能力:本研究的结果凸显了基于案例的展开式学习在本科护理教育中的可能性。本研究证明,可以在早期引入展开式案例学习,并在整个本科课程中加以培养,以影响护理专业学生临床决策技能的发展。
