This study's purpose was to establish the impact of a Career Advancement Program on critical thinking and clinical judgment of Registered Nurses. Findings of the study suggest that critical thinking and clinical judgment are not influenced by patterns of upward mobility. Additionally, an analysis did not indicate significant predictors in education, specialty area, or years of nursing experience related to scores. Whereas this study questions the efficacy of career mobility programs on critical thinking and clinical judgment, it does not measure the impact of career advancement programs on other key outcome variables. The study suggests nurse educators emphasize critical thinking and clinical judgment rather than transmission of information in educational offerings.
本研究的目的是确定职业晋升计划对注册护士批判性思维和临床判断的影响。该研究的结果表明,批判性思维和临床判断不受向上流动模式的影响。此外,一项分析并未表明在教育程度、专业领域或护理经验年限方面存在与分数相关的显著预测因素。虽然本研究对职业流动计划在批判性思维和临床判断方面的功效提出了质疑,但它并未衡量职业晋升计划对其他关键结果变量的影响。该研究建议护理教育工作者在教学中应强调批判性思维和临床判断,而不是信息的传递。
