Abstract: (1048 Views)
Background & Aims: Given that critical analysis plays an important role in clinical decision-making and providing high-quality care, this skill is considered a priority in the education of nursing students. The purpose of this study is to review the studies conducted on the relationship between critical thinking and educational methods in nursing in Iran.
Materials & Methods: In this systematic study, articles published From 1996 till 2023 have been reviewed without time limit from PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, MagIran, SID, Google Scholar, Irandoc, Web of Science databases, in Persian and English languages. After evaluating the quality of the articles, 15 articles (three English articles and 12 Persian articles) were eligible and included in the study.
Results: The results of the results of the findings of the articles showed that 20% of the studies have been investigated. 26.5 percent of the studies showed a positive effect on the conceptual design map, 6.5 percent of the studies showed the effect of the nursing process method on the conceptual design map. Also, 13% of studies have reported the effect of case-based teaching method compared to other teaching methods and 13% of studies have reported the effect of problem-based teaching.
Conclusion: The educational methods of conceptual mapping, based on topics and based on cases, were the most important educational strategies for improving the critical thinking skills of nursing students in Iran
