The effectiveness of evidence-based nursing on development of nursing students' critical thinking: A meta-analysis

Effectiveness of a Teaching Model in a First Aid Course: A Randomized Clinical Trial

“…6,16 In this logic, active and realistic methodologies have been increasingly employed in the training of health professionals, in view of the greater stimulation of cognitive and metacognitive skills, such as CT, a firing device of clinical judgment and decision making. [6][7][8][9]16,23 Thus, in addition to teaching the adequate protocols and executions on topics such as FA and BLS, it is necessary to establish purposeful reasoning with a view to better decision making, directly implying the survival of victims. [15][16]26 As a limitation of the study, it is noteworthy that, although the questionnaire/test was evaluated by experts for content validity, at the time of the research no statistical tests had been employed to verify its reliability.…”

“…CT is a skill that can be stimulated and improved and that has a direct impact on the clinical decision making process in health. [5][6][7][8] In the nursing literature, CT has been defined as a cognitive ability manifested by the ability to analyze, through logical reasoning and clinical judgment oriented to problem solving, being essential in situations of FA. [6][7][8] Therefore, the choice of the teaching methodology of the theoretical and practical contents is a major factor in stimulating the mental processes involved in the ability to think critically.…”

“…In this sense, several research studies have shown a relationship between PBL and the stimulation of the cognitive and metacognitive skills responsible for fostering learning. [5][6][7] Among them, the ability of CT, an essential competence in the clinical evaluation and decision making in FA. [7][8][9][10] A study that employed the PBL's Active Teaching Model for Critical Thinking (ATMCT) in an educational intervention identified development and improvement of higher mental functions in the students participating in the research.…”

“…The results showed a significant increase in correct answers in the post-test. 10 A systematic review 6 indicates PBL as the most used teaching intervention in the international literature to stimulate CT. However, it expresses that there is still a lack of randomized studies with high methodological rigor and experimental design that compare knowledge before and after applying diverse methodologies that stimulate CT and improve learning.…”

Ensino do pensamento crítico para estudantes de Enfermagem: abordagens, desenho e teoria de uma intervenção educativa

“…Para os participantes, o ensinar pensar criticamente envolve a habilidade do docente de relacionar o conteúdo teórico com a prática, sendo que essa prática pode ser uma experiência ou um estudo de caso, por exemplo, que envolva atividades lúdicas e ensino no laboratório. Estes estudos são provenientes em especial de países como China [132][133][134][139][140] , país com maior número de estudos, e Coréia do Sul 4,114,119,137 . Este é um aspecto cultural importante a ser considerado na escolha de qual estratégia utilizar, caso tenha expectativa de obter os mesmos resultados do estudo primário.…”
