The use of intuition by expert clinical nursing teachers in the assessment of the clinical performance of nursing students

In this qualitative, exploratory study, the use of intuition by expert clinical nursing teachers in the assessment of the clinical performance of nursing students was explored. The Dreyfus and Dreyfus (1986) model entitled: Six Key Aspects of Intuitive Judgment (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1986) was used...

The Dreyfus and Dreyfus (1986) model entitled: Six Key Aspects of Intuitive Judgment (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1986) was used as a conceptual framework to guide the content analysis of the data resulting from semi-structured, in-depth interviews with nine expert clinical nursing teachers of undergraduate nursing students. Seven themes, associated with the nature of the intuitive experiences of clinical nursing teachers in relation to nursing student clinical performance, emerged. These were: (a) experiencing intuition, (b) analyzing and interpreting intuition, (c) using intuition, (d) valuing intuition, (e) differentiating the intuitive experiences of novice and expert clinical nursing teachers, (f) profiling the intuitive processing of the expert clinical nursing teacher, and (g) reflecting on intuition.
