Abstract:
Objective:To explore the impact of "basic nursing" course with signature pedagogy on undergraduate nursing students' critical thinking, professional identity, and professionalism.Methods:A signature pedagogy method for the "basic nursing" course was established using narrative as a theoretical lesson and scenario-simulation as a laboratory lesson. Ninety sophomore nursing students in the 2020 undergraduate nursing program were selected as the participants of a controlled pre-post study. The students were evaluated using the Critical Thinking Inventory, the Professional Identity Questionnaire, and the Professionalism Inventory before and after the course. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at the end of the course to gain an in-depth understanding of their learning experience. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and Nvivo 11.0 Colaizzi's seven-step method was used for analysis of qualitative research.Results:A total of 87 nursing students participated in the course and 83 were included in the quantitative analysis. The total scores of critical thinking skills (286.83±17.44), professional identity (58.95±6.43), and professionalism (67.08±11.21) were significantly higher after the course than before the course ( P<0.001). Qualitative study identified the four themes of promoting effective learning, developing critical thinking and empathy, building professional attitudes, and expecting curriculum optimization. Conclusions:The "basic nursing" course based on signature pedagogy for undergraduate nursing students helps to enhance their critical thinking, foster a sense of professional identity, and develop professionalism.
