Effect of a guide for clinical reasoning on Nursing students' diagnostic accuracy: A clinical trial. / Efeito de guia para raciocínio clínico na acurácia diagnóstica de estudantes de enfermagem: ensaio clínico.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effect of the Self-Instructional Guide for Clinical Reasoning on the diagnostic accuracy of undergraduate Nursing students. METHOD: a randomized, parallel and double-blind (researchers and outcome evaluators) clinical trial, carried out with undergraduate Nursing students. Validated case studies were applied in two phases to identify the patient's Nursing diagnosis/problem, etiology and clues, using the Guide with the intervention group in the second phase. The outcomes - diagnostic and etiological accuracy and number of clues - were evaluated using validated rubrics. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic data; Fisher's exact test for similarities in prior education and confidence; Mann-Whitney's test for age; and non-parametric ANOVA test in the evaluation of the hypothesis of differences in performance. RESULTS: final sample composed of 24 students in the control group and 27 in the intervention group; no difference as to gender, age and schooling. There was a difference in diagnostic (p=0.041) and etiological (p=0.0351) accuracy in the intervention group, showing a negative effect of using the Guide. CONCLUSION: the one-time self-instruction was not effective in impacting the diagnostic accuracy of students solving case studies. Repeated application of the Guide as a teaching tool can be effective in improving such outcome. REBEC: RBR-4bhr78.

Cross-cultural adaptation for Brazil and validity of a guide to assist nursing students' clinical reasoning.

PURPOSE: To assess the validity of a Written Clinical Reasoning Prompt (WCRP) to help nursing students' clinical reasoning (CR). METHOD: This is a methodological study of translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese of instruments that aim to promote CR improvement, composed of (1) WCRP; (2) two case studies; (3) a questionnaire about students' perceptions during decision-making in case studies; (4) a scoring rubric for correcting case studies. For translation and cross-cultural adaptation, stages 1-8 of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) Consortium Network were adopted. Agreement values among experts >80% and content validity coefficient (CVC) > 0.8 were considered satisfactory. For the pretest, a randomized clinical trial was carried out with 24 nursing students (intervention group, n = 14, using the WCRP to solve case studies; control group, n = 10, without using the WCRP). FINDINGS: The WCRP was translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese, requiring minimal adjustments to obtain agreement among the judges above 80% and CVC above 0.80. Regarding face validation, an adequate agreement was obtained in the assessment by students. There was no difference in the accuracy of nursing diagnoses between the intervention and control groups in the pretest. CONCLUSION: The WCRP was translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese and had adequate face and content validity estimates; however, there was no association with improving nursing students' diagnostic accuracy. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The translated and adapted versions of all instruments into Brazilian Portuguese had adequate evidence of content and face validity. The use of WCRP was not associated with a significant improvement in nursing students' diagnostic accuracy. New studies with larger samples, a sample power of at least 80%, and a level of significance of 5% are needed.

Effects of Clinical Reasoning Prompts on Nursing Students' Clinical Judgment for a Patient Experiencing Respiratory Distress.

PURPOSE: To test the effects of clinical reasoning prompts on students' clinical judgment of a written case study. METHODS: An experimental pre- and posttest study with second semester nursing students (N = 163). FINDINGS: The intervention was insufficient to significantly improve clinical judgment. Students identified that the prompts would help them "narrow… down the problem" and "slow… the decision-making process" to improve analysis. The most accurate patient problem was identified by 28% of students in pretest and 35% in posttest. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence of variations in nursing students' clinical judgment and students' desire to use decision-making algorithms. NURSING IMPLICATIONS: Nurse educators should provide students with additional education and practice to identify and solve these types of problems.

Analysis of the evidence of related factors, associated conditions and at-risk populations of the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis insomnia.

OBJECTIVES: To summarize evidence in the literature on the predictors of insomnia in adults and to determine correspondences with diagnostic indicators of the NANDA-I diagnosis Insomnia. METHODS: An integrative review performed in Pubmed, Virtual Health Library and CINAHL. Forty-eight articles published in Portuguese, English or Spanish from 2011 to 2018 were included. An analysis of correspondence between the predictors and the NANDA-I related factors and associated conditions for Insomnia was performed. RESULTS: There was a correspondence of the predictors found in this review with NANDA-I related factors and associated conditions, except for grieving and frequent naps during the day. Smoking, caffeine intake, dysfunctional sleep beliefs, obesity and caregiver role strain are possible new related factors; chronic illness is a possible new associated condition and individuals going through changes in marital status, economically disadvantaged, female gender, increasing age and night shift worker are possible new at-risk populations. CONCLUSION: The predictors of insomnia that had a correspondence with the NANDA-I elements can support the evidence base of the nursing diagnosis. The predictors found without a correspondence with the diagnosis can be considered for inclusion in the NANDA-I classification, thereby supporting the clinical reasoning of nurses and students.
