Design thinking: Opportunities for application in nursing education

The Relationship Between Personality Traits, Resilience, School Support, and Creative Teaching in Higher School Physical Education Teachers

“…In addition to basic teaching tasks, it is necessary to adopt a variety of teaching designs to cultivate students' innovative awareness and thereby to change the stiff and inflexible traditional teaching model (Gu, 2018;Huang et al, 2019a). Creativity is a crucial element of education (Liu and Chang, 2017), From the definition of creativity, some scholars (Soh, 2000;Beaird et al, 2018) pointed out that creative teaching is that teachers conceive, design, and use novel teaching orientations, methods, or activities to adapt to students' mental development and stimulate students' motivation to learn, so as to obtain the best teaching effect. Other scholars (Ozkal, 2014;Gu, 2018;Huang et al, 2019b) believed that creative teaching is the strategies to use a variety of novel and valuable teaching under the guidance of certain teaching thoughts to enhance students' learning interest and motivation and to achieve teaching goals.…”

Positive psychology refers to when people encounter challenges or setbacks; they will have the ambition to solve problems and continuously practice to change their thinking, strengthen the positive force, and meet the challenges (Liu and Chang, 2017).…”

The association of creativity, creative components of personality, and innovation among nursing students in Taiwan

“…It is not clear why there was no significant positive correlation between creativity and innovation or why innovation was only correlated with curiosity. Design thinking in higher education has become more important as the impact of technology on healthcare increases [7]. Therefore understanding how educators can improve and enhance students' creativity and innovation is critical.…”

“…As a result, since 2006 technical institutes, vocational schools, and universities in Taiwan have integrated capstone courses into their curricula in order to stimulate creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship [6]. Incorporating this type of 'design thinking' has also been encouraged for nursing programs in the US to help nurses develop problem-solving skills for the improvement of nursing care quality [7]. Five nursing schools in Taiwan have incorporated capstone courses into their curricula to improve nursing students' creativity and innovation; the goal is to help students generate innovative patentable healthcare products to solve real-world healthcare problems [2,8].…”

Employing design thinking methods in nursing to improve patient outcomes

“…Some graduate nursing and health care leadership programs including the Master's in Health care Innovation program at Ohio State University and the Doctor of Nursing Practice in Health care Innovation at the University of Minnesota have begun to implement design thinking as part of their curriculum 40,41 . There could be significant benefits to incorporating design thinking into nursing curricula, as strongly encouraged by Beaird et al 42 …”
