Aprn Role As A Teacher The Trends And Issues
Overview of the APRN Role
· APRN role as a teacher:
· Understanding the three domains of learning:
· Cognitive Domain: “… contextualizing and consolidating exiting theoretical knowledge….” (Hayes, 2016, p.861)
· Psychomotor Domain: the learner has retained safe practice skills when the demonstrated through repetition or “… becomes ‘second nature’….” (Hayes, 2016, p. 861).
· Affective Domain: The teacher must gage whether the learner has gained realization of the values and ethical beliefs associated with their practice
· The advanced practice nurse is trained to provide patients and families with the education and skills needed understand their health/treatment, take control of their care and to be more autonomous (Joel, 2013, p. 327)
· Provide students or new graduates with the education and skills needed to feel confident, safe and practice safely/independently
· The APRN must understand the components of teaching (Gaberson & Oermann, 2010) –
· Assess the learner (i.e. student, patient or family member/s)
· Assess the learner’s readiness to learn
· Identify the individual’s needs
· Set obtainable goals (with learners’ participation in planning)
· Monitoring the learner’s progression
· Determine if further education/teaching is indicated
· Ultimate goal:
· Gain an understanding, trusting and professional relationship with learner to better facilitate knowledge retention
· “… patients gain an understanding of their health problems and treatments, how to care for themselves at home, and health-promoting behaviors”
· Promote safe and ethical practices for new graduates/students
