The contemporary healthcare environment is an authentic, demanding, challenging and ever-changing environment that requires learners to possess good self skills when they need to engage in meaningful, critical discourse in order to solve authentic problems. However, nurse educators assume that learners already have well-developed self skills at the commencement of their nursing training and as a result do not explicitly teach and develop such skills in the learners.
The objectives of this research were to explore and describe nurse educators' views on how learners' self skills can be developed within an authentic learning (AL) environment, and to formulate recommendations based on the findings.
A qualitative and contextual research design was used to seek rich, in-depth data from 20 nurse educators who were purposively sampled. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, and the data were analysed using Miles, Huberman and Saldaña method.
The three themes that emerged were that nurse educators should (1) ensure an AL environment that promotes self skills, (2) engage learners in activities that will consciously evoke authentic self and (3) evaluate the developed self skills and metacognition.
By developing good self skills, learners should be able to deliver quality patient care, find solutions to complex problems and handle cognitive complexity and authentic conditions whilst creating their own identity.
当代医疗保健环境是一个真实、苛刻、具有挑战性且不断变化的环境,要求学习者在需要进行有意义的、批判性的对话以解决真实问题时具备良好的自我技能。然而,护理教育者认为学习者在开始护理培训时已经具备了良好的自我技能,因此并没有在学习者中明确教授和培养这些技能。
本研究的目的是探讨和描述护理教育者对如何在真实学习(AL)环境中培养学习者自我技能的看法,并根据研究结果提出建议。
采用定性和情境研究设计,从 20 名有目的地抽样的护理教育者那里获取丰富、深入的数据。进行了半结构化的个人访谈,使用 Miles、Huberman 和 Saldaña 方法分析数据。
出现了三个主题,即护理教育者应该(1)确保促进自我技能的 AL 环境,(2)让学习者参与有意识地唤起真实自我的活动,以及(3)评估所培养的自我技能和元认知。
通过培养良好的自我技能,学习者应该能够提供优质的患者护理,找到解决复杂问题的方法,并处理认知复杂性和真实情况,同时塑造自己的身份。
