Filter by:Diagnostic error, Dual process model of reasoning) During the last decade, much emphasis has been placed on system solutions to patient safety problems. However, diagnostic error, despite being responsible for twice as many adverse events as medication error, has received little attention. The rate of diagnostic errors have been estimated to be between 0.6% to 12%.Some estimates are as high as 15%.The rate of negative outcome or adverse effects of diagnostic errors range from 6.9% to 17%. Most authors accept that the dual process model of reasoning explains how clinicians make diagnoses. The purpose of this study is to investigate why diagnostic errors occurred in the emergency departments (EDs).
Considering the need for an intervention in the context of the Brazilian nursing education, in order to develop the skills and dispositions for critical thinking (CT), this study aims to fill this gap through a first aid course, comparing a group control and an experimental group. In this study will be used two tests, California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTID) to review arrangements for the CT, and California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) to evaluate CT skills, both marketed (Facione N, Facione PA, 2009 , 2011). Therefore, in order to facilitate the assimilation of PC skills during the course, we prepared the model of Active Teaching for Critical Thinking (MEAPC): characterized by a teaching method proposed by the author of this work, who understands the educational activity active and intentional as mobilizing higher mental processes fundamental to the development of the CT.
