Creative Thinking Problem Solving and Communication Skills

Summary

Creative thinking is a very important factor, especially due to recent developments in technology and health. In order to adapt and contribute to these developments, creativity is also very important for the nursing profession, which is a health discipline consisting of science and art. Creative thinking skills need to be developed so that nurses can develop healthy interpersonal relationships, find solutions to the problems they encounter in their working and social life, approach the patient with a holistic perspective, use the knowledge they have acquired in education life at an optimal level in the delivery of health services, produce new information and gain a critical perspective.

In today's information age, it is very important for professional development to develop the teaching models used in nursing education based on the philosophy of lifelong learning, to be revised frequently, to control the curriculum and to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching techniques used at frequent intervals. The above-mentioned literature suggests that nurses should use creativity in their problem-solving and communication skills. In this context, it creates the need to use alternative creative thinking teaching techniques to develop nursing students' problem solving and communication skills. For this reason, the research was conducted to develop an intervention program based on creative thinking techniques in nursing education and to evaluate the effect of this program based on creative thinking techniques on problem solving and communication skills in nursing students. If a meaningful relationship is found between these variables and creative thinking education as a result of the research, the education program prepared on the subject will constitute a guide for the nursing curriculum in gaining creative thinking, problem solving and communication skills in nursing students.
