Technology–supported guidance model to support the development of critical thinking among undergraduate nursing students in clinical practice: a flexible exploratory mixed methods feasibility study protocol.
ABSTRACT
Background:
Critical thinking is an essential set of skills in nursing education, and nursing education needs a sharper focus on effective ways to support the development of these skills, especially through the implementation of technological tools in nursing education.
Objective:
To assess the feasibility for nursing students in clinical practice of a technology–supported guidance model grounded in metacognition theory.
Methods:
Both quantitative (research questionnaires) and qualitative (focus group interviews) approaches will be used to collect data for a feasibility study with a flexible, exploratory, mixed methods design to test a newly developed intervention in clinical practice.
Results:
The intervention development was completed in December 2020. The intervention will be tested at three independent nursing homes in Norway.
Conclusions:
By determining the feasibility of a technology–supported guidance model for nursing students in clinical practice, the results will provide information on the acceptability of the intervention and the suitability of the outcome measures and data collection strategy. They will also identify the causes of drop–out and the obstacles to retention and adherence.
