Innovative feedback guide for clinical practice teachers in nursing: creating learning bridges

Abstract

The study elucidates the pivotal role of effective feedback in nursing students' learning and professional development, emphasizing the integrated pedagogical techniques employed by clinical instructors. In 2023, an edu-cational innovation was implemented at the University of Las Americas, Vi & ntilde;a del Mar, with the objective of enhancing instructors' proficiency in delivering effective feedback during integrated practices. This initiative involved identify-ing their self-perceptions and capabilities, followed by the design and deployment of a specialized training program. Following the training, a notable enhancement in the teachers' feedback delivery was observed, with scores surpass-ing 75 % on the Direct Assessment of Clinical Skills Scale. Additionally, an increase was noted in teacher satisfaction surveys, particularly in aspects related to feedback. This positive trajectory in scores underscores the significant impact of focused teacher training on feedback mechanisms, affirming the potential to enhance educational experi-ences and outcomes by strengthening instructor competencies in feedback delivery within clinical practice contexts
