Description
Summary:Professional nurses must possess critical thinking skills to practice in contemporary health care systems. This paper describes the adaptation of an established strategy for helping students organize their thoughts--the interpersonal process recording (IPR)--to develop nursing students' critical thinking skills. The Critical Thinking-IPR encourages a systemic, theory-based approach to client problems, enables students to become self-directed learners, and engages student and teacher in analytic dialogue about clinical nursing problems.
