Abstract

Background

Growth mindset is the belief that abilities can develop through effort and persistence. It is linked to improved student outcomes. Faculty play a key role in designing activities to support students’ development of a growth mindset.

Aim

Faculty aimed to discover student perception of the growth-mindset activities, identify key takeaways to support the continued use of the strategy, determine if modifications were needed, and reveal student findings that indicate the development of a growth mindset.

Methods

This quality improvement project evaluated the effectiveness of the new teaching strategy aimed at fostering a growth mindset in nursing students through brief, structured activities.

Results

Out of 96 students, 91.7% participated, with 91% reporting a growth mindset by the semester's end. The thematic analysis highlighted student-preferred strategies such as reframing challenges, striving for competency, self-care, reflective practices, social support, and time management.

Conclusion

Findings indicate that targeted activities can effectively cultivate a growth mindset, aiding students' academic and professional development.
