OUTCOME PRESENT TEST METHOD (OPT) IMPROVE THE SATISFACTION OF CLINICAL REASONING STUDENT PROFESSION IN MEDICAL NURSING SURGERY STAGE

Abstract

Nursing clinical education is an instrument in improving the clinical reasoning skills of students. One of learning models of clinical reasoning that is used to improve clinical reasoning skills in nursing education is the Outcome-Present Test Model (OPT). OPT is a nursing process model that is designed to develop the skills of learners’ clinical reasoning and the focus of the model are the results (outcomes) and thinking behind (backward) to change the client from his health status at this time (the present state) to the desired state (outcome ). In other words, a very simple model that consists of only 1 (one) page makes the learning improving clinical reasoning skills more easily and reduce the element of copy and paste in the documentation. While peer learning is an effective strategy to address the problem in which the students will be divided into several groups of 2-3 students.

To obtain the result, this learning model uses research development method with the respondents 10 clinics and institutions preceptor and 30 students who practice in medical surgical nursing stase.

The research results shows the level of student satisfaction after using Outcome-Present Test (OPT)-peer learning for 4 weeks, it affected with the value of α: 0,001. By using this model, not just a clinical reasoning that they get but they also will understand about how to use the diagnosis of NANDA, NIC and NOC. The next suggestion, this model can be a format in clinical learning in other departments.
