The increasing complexity of care and the decrease in overall nursing experience pose a threat to patient safety and clinical outcomes in health care. Within the local environment, a critical need was identified to connect expert bedside nurses with novice nurses to support the development of critical thinking.
This article describes the development and pilot evaluation of a critical reflection mentorship program, Beyond the Bedside. The program was developed and deployed in three inpatient units within an adult academic health center. Critical thinking was evaluated using the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire (N-CT-4 Practice) pre- and postprogram implementation.
Five nurses participated in the pre- and postevaluation, and the N-CT-4 Practice mean scores were significantly higher after program implementation.
Education leaders should prioritize programs that support critical thinking among novice nurses, and the Beyond the Bedside program can be adapted for use in other health care settings. .
护理工作日益复杂，整体护理经验减少，这对医疗保健中的患者安全和临床结果构成了威胁。在当地环境中，人们发现需要将专家床边护士与新手护士联系起来，以支持批判性思维的发展。
本文介绍了批判性反思指导计划 Beyond the Bedside 的开发和试点评估。该计划在成人学术医疗中心的三个住院病房内开发和部署。使用护理临床实践批判性思维问卷（N-CT-4 实践）在计划实施前后评估批判性思维。
有 5 名护士参加了前后评估，实施后 N-CT-4 实践的平均分数明显更高。
教育领导者应优先考虑支持新手护士批判性思维的计划，并且 Beyond the Bedside 计划可以适应其他医疗保健环境使用。
