Descrição detalhada
Reflective thinking and clinical decision-making are essential competencies for nursing students to deliver safe, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. Active learning approaches are increasingly recommended to improve these competencies during undergraduate nursing education. Creative drama is an experiential teaching method that promotes active participation, critical reflection, communication, empathy, collaboration, and problem-solving through role-playing, improvisation, and group interaction.
This randomized controlled mixed-methods study investigated whether creative drama education improves nursing students' reflective thinking and clinical decision-making compared with conventional case-based discussion. Undergraduate nursing students were randomly allocated to either an experimental group receiving structured creative drama education (n = 40) or a control group receiving case-based discussion sessions (n = 37). Reflective thinking and clinical decision-making were measured before and after the intervention. Subsequently, qualitative interviews were conducted with students in the experimental group to explore their experiences and explain the quantitative findings.

Experimental: Creative Drama-Based Training
Participants received structured creative drama education designed to improve reflective thinking and clinical decision-making through experiential learning, role-playing, improvisation, and group reflection.
|
Participants in the experimental group received a structured creative drama education program designed to enhance reflective thinking and clinical decision-making skills.
The intervention consisted of interactive sessions incorporating warm-up activities, improvisation, role-playing, group enactment of realistic nursing scenarios, reflection, and group discussion.
Students actively explored clinical situations by assuming different roles, analyzing patient care problems, and reflecting on their experiences throughout the drama process.
The educational content was standardized and delivered by the same instructor using a predefined creative drama program.

Outro: Case-Based Discussion
Participants received instructor-guided case discussion sessions covering the same educational objectives using conventional teaching methods.
|
Participants in the control group received conventional case-based discussion sessions covering the same learning objectives as the experimental group.
The sessions included instructor-guided analysis of written clinical cases, question-and-answer activities, and group discussions without the use of creative drama techniques or experiential role-play.
