| Summary: | This article details how a conceptual tool, the semantic wave, can be used to support intellectual disability nursing students to access and apply theories, concepts and evidence to inform their practice. The semantic wave can enable nurse preceptors in Ireland – and practice supervisors and practice assessors in the UK – to articulate the links between theory and practice when supporting nursing students to develop foundational competences on their practice placements. This article uses a case study of a nurse preceptor supporting a first-year intellectual disability nursing student to develop their competence in communication and interpersonal relationships, demonstrating how the semantic wave can be used to apply nursing theory to context-specific practice situations. |
