Fostering Clinical Judgement Ability among Nursing Students by Application of Concept Mapping in the City of Bangalore, India.

Each clinical encounter demands competent clinical skills and expertise from a student nurse. This period also becomes the most challenging as many have trouble linking theory with practice.

This period also becomes the most challenging as many have trouble linking theory with practice. Thus, they experience less confidence at the bedside of patients. Delivering high-quality, safe nursing care at the bedside requires sound clinical judgement. Nurses with clinical judgement have evidence-based knowledge enabling them to identify intuitively and quickly the salient patient care information and respond accordingly. Developing these critical clinical judgement abilities takes time, and many new nurses lack them. Concept mapping is a robust instructional technique that may assist a novice nurse in making links between many aspects of nursing care concepts, allowing for the development of clinical judgement. A concept map is a visual resource that organises and displays a student's understanding of the links between distinct concepts for a particular subject. Most of the earlier studies were done in the simulation lab. Little evidence exists to claim that clinical judgement has improved over time due to applying concept mapping techniques in the clinical setting. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of the concept mapping approach to foster clinical judgement among nursing students in Bangalore, India. A quantitative, quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design with a control group was implemented among Bachelor of Science in Nursing students. The subjects were undergoing medical-surgical nursing courses in four nursing colleges in an urban setting. The allocation of four colleges to the control and experimental group was random. A sample size of 300 participants completed a questionnaire on baseline characteristics and the Lasater Clinical Judgement Rubric. The experimental group was taught using the concept mapping technique, and participants prepared a concept map for their assigned patient in the clinical area. The intervention group's mean pretest clinical judgement score was 18.24 (SD = 3.17), while the control group's was 20.18 (SD = 4.85). The intervention group's mean post-test clinical judgement score (29.56, SD = 5.42) is greater than the control group's (22.33, SD = 4.63). The experimental group had a substantially higher post-test clinical judgement score (t = 3.99, P<0.001) than the control group. The findings imply that concept mapping will help nursing students improve their clinical judgement abilities.
