Speaker: Dr. Barbara Lockwood, RN, Associate Professor, Aurora University College of Nursing
Recent research was conducted to describe from the nurse’s perspective the workplace cultural influences on the quality of critical thinking in medical-surgical nurses. Organizational and unit based management, workplace systems and processes, and workplace relationships, including unit staff nurses, physician and interdepartmental relationships were explored. Twenty RNs from two different medical-surgical units in one acute care hospital were observed while working and were interviewed to determine the quality of the RNs’ critical thinking, the nature of workplace culture, and to identify how the culture influenced the RNs’ quality of critical thinking. The RNs quality of critical thinking was most influenced by what management emphasized and reinforced, sometimes to the detriment of critical thinking. Learn more about management's role in supporting and stifling staff nurse critical thinking.
