摘要:

The article proposes that all nurses, as members of a discipline that is embedded in practice, share in the obligation to take part, in different capacities, in the generation of nursing scholarship. A model of scholarly inquiry that connects knowledge development and professional values to gather wisdom that benefits the health and well-being of society is advanced. Opportunity for all nurses to engage in a dialogue to create ownership of their scholarship is pivotal to its revisioning.

摘要:

Clinical nursing education represents one of the most challenging aspects of the faculty role because nursing educators are being required to teach crucial aspects of comprehensive clinical practice to students in limited time periods and in increasingly demanding, high-acuity affiliation sites. State-of-the-art research in metacognition provides a stimulating array of instructional strategies that can assist in this process and provide an impetus for further cognitive inquiry in nursing. The article analyzes metacognition, explores its historical roots, delineates its relationship to memory theory, and describes a range of metacognitive strategies that are useful to faculty and students in nursing.

摘要:

The assessment of graduating students' critical thinking skills and habits of mind challenges and rewards those who approach the task from a critical thinking perspective. The article identifies and discusses issues in the design of authentic assessments of critical thinking as an educational outcome predictive of competent professional judgment in nursing practice. Authentic assessment implies a multiple methods design that addresses the diverse contexts within which judgments must be made by professional nurses. Most important, it implies a concern for validity and reliability of measurement, selection of appropriate data points, and attention to a number of logistic and practical concerns.

摘要:

Faced with increasingly complex health care issues and diminishing resources for research, nurse scientists must collaborate with each other and with scientists from other disciplines in the search for innovative and cost-effective health care solutions. The article traces nursing's 20-year struggle to become a credible partner in interdisciplinary research and highlights advantages and challenges characteristic of such collaboration. The authors describe their respective experiences as members of interdisciplinary research teams, one in a private medical practice affiliated with a for-profit hospital and the other in an academic setting. Recommendations that nurture successful collaborations are proposed.

摘要:

Most nursing school curricula address the pathologic nature of illness, the nursing care of clients who are ill, the prevention of illness, and the promotion of health. There seems to be minimal discussion, however, both in nursing curricula and in textbooks, of the alleviation of suffering or of how nurses know that someone is suffering. The article describes a phenomenologic analysis of 12 nursing students' lived experiences of caring for individuals who were suffering. The voices of the students as they chronicled their experiences are exemplars of clinical scholarship as described in the literature.

摘要:

Clinical scholarship is elusive but involves observation, comparison of what is and what might be, applicability and analysis of appropriate theory-based practice, and passion for the process. The article examines characteristics of clinical scholarship in a clinical practice with a community service mission: facilitation of a support group for parents experiencing perinatal loss. The conceptual framework for this practice arena, Swanson-Kauffman's caring concepts and Yalom's curative factors of group participation, is explored. Practical information about initiating and maintaining an environment of clinical scholarship in a support group practice is provided, with discussion of the appropriateness of support group involvement for this population.
