Introduction and Aim: While the history of critical thinking goes back to the ancient Greek Philosophers era, since then it was implemented as an effective means to improve learning in education. In recent decades, nursing education has emphasized on critical thinking as a core and essential competency of students and nurses. Nurses as critical thinkers will be able to provide essential care in the healthcare system with rapidly changing knowledge and technology developments in the modern world. Communication is a two-way process in which there is an exchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or symbols towards a mutually accepted goal or outcome. The purpose of this article is to explain the role of communication and interaction in the development of critical thinking in nursing education
Methods and Materials: This article is part of a large qualitative study. In the main study, a grounded theory approach was employed using in-depth interviews with 19 participants, 40 informal interviews, observations, field notes, and documents. Analysis of data included the process of open coding, axial coding, selective coding, and constant comparison analysis.
Findings: Data revealed ‘critical thinking’ to be an essential concept with developmental and multidimensional processes in interactions that start from birth and continues its growth all the way to the adulthood. One of the main categories emerged in this study was “psycho-social needs”, which includes the category of “communication and interaction in the process of critical thinking”. This category was composed of 20 sub-categories ranging from: the importance of interaction and communication in the development of critical thinking, to privacy and interaction.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, critical thinking has its basis in interpersonal and social interactions. Also, the appropriate communication in the learning organizations have a positive impact on the formation and development of critical thinking, especially in the students. Therefore, we recommend to university authorities to plan an appropriate package to strengthen teachers and students' communication skills and facilitate good communication process in the education setting. |
