Title | Critical thinking in nurse education: exploring critical thinking from the the nurse lecturers' perspective |
Authors | Flaherty, C. |
Abstract | Introduction: Critical thinking is not a new concept to nursing, it first appeared in nursing literature in the early 1980s, and education for critical thinking dates back to Dewey (1910). The importance of developing critical thinking skills in nursing has heightened over the decades due to the changes in nurse education, advances in healthcare, and the complexity of patient’s needs. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2018) underpin education for nursing, and with that have placed heavy emphasis on the need for nurses at the point of graduation to be competent critical thinkers, which reflects the theme of knowledge in action. However, nurse lecturers face a number of barriers when trying to develop students to think critically such as; time constraints, content saturated curricula, heavy workloads, lack of established pedagogical approaches, and no clear definition for critical thinking. |
