Abstract
- PURPOSE: To design and test educational software to improve nursing students’ diagnostic reasoning through NANDA‐I‐based clinical scenarios. METHODS: A mixed method approach was used and included content validation by a panel of 13 experts and prototype testing by a sample of 56 students. FINDINGS: Experts’ suggestions included writing adjustments, new response options, and replacement of clinical information on the scenarios. Percentages of students’ correct answers were 65.7%, 62.2%, and 60.5% for related factors, defining characteristics, and nursing diagnoses, respectively. CONCLUSION: Full development of this software shows strong potential for enhancing students’ diagnostic reasoning. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: New graduates may be able to apply diagnostic reasoning more rapidly by exercising their diagnostic skills within this software. OBJETIVO: Desenvolver e testar um protótipo de software educativo para melhorar o raciocínio diagnóstico de estudantes de enfermagem. MÉTODOS: Uma abordagem mista foi utilizada e incluiu validação de conteúdo por 13 experts e testagem do protótipo por 56 estudantes. RESULTADOS: Sugestões dos experts incluíram ajustes na escrita, inclusão de novas opções de resposta e substituição de dados clínicos nos cenários. Os percentuais de respostas corretas dos estudantes foram 65,7%, 62,2% e 60,5% para fatores relacionados, características definidoras e diagnósticos de enfermagem respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: O desenvolvimento deste software tem um forte potencial para melhorar o raciocínio diagnóstico de estudantes. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA EM ENFERMAGEM: Através deste software, enfermeiros poderão ser capazes de exercitar o raciocínio diagnóstico e aplicá‐lo mais rapidamente. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
