Rethinking global health topics to advance social justice in undergraduate nursing education

Progress in the Application of Reflective Education on Undergraduate Nursing Interns

Some colleges and universities in China have tried to incorporate reflection education into the nursing education system, such as Southwest Medical University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which have changed the twice-weekly group practical training to monthly comprehensive practical training, encouraging students to independently design and implement a small project, and requiring students to complete the entire experimental process in a team, which is important for improving students' critical thinking skills and innovation ability [12] .…”
