Activités pédagogiques en laboratoire favorisant l'intégration de connaissances conditionnelles
When studying in the nursing competency based approach (CBA) in college, students manifest difficulties in preparing the necessary equipment before performing a clinical skill. They also find it difficult to follow the steps of the chosen clinical skill and evaluate the situation to adapt treatments to the clinical situation. They are struggling to manage their stress and their confidence during clinical training. The integration of conditional knowledge is essential for the application of clinical skill that take into account the patient's health status. It is therefore essential to promote the integration of conditional knowledge when learning laboratory clinical skill, and thereby support the development of nursing clinical judgment. This internship project aims to plan and implement teaching strategies in the laboratory when applying clinical skill that promote the integration of conditional knowledge. The conceptual framework of How to Act Competently of LeBoterf (2006) and the Acquisition Process and Integration Clinical skill of Marcheterre (2004), constitute the conceptual framework of this internship project. In nursing education, it can guide the choice of teaching strategies that will help the student to incorporate conditional knowledge to clinical judgment in diverse clinical situations. The activity planned and implemented in this internship project helps students to integrate conditional knowledge allowing them to make their own preparation and to respond appropriately during simulations, thus developing their clinical judgment. The development of clinical judgment should contribute to the safety and quality of patient care.
