Correlation between implementation case reflection discussion based on the Graham Gibbs Cycle and nurses' critical thinking skills

Objective: The purpose of the study is to analyze the correlation between an implementation case reflection discussion (CRD) based on the Graham Gibbs Cycle, and nurses' critical thinking skills. This research studied was evaluated CRD implementation with sample size 85 nurses and choosing used cluster sampling technique approach. Method: The data were analyzed by paired t-tests. The research results showed that an implementation case reflection discussion based on the Graham Gibbs Cycle improved nurses' critical thinking skill significantly (p = 0.001). Results: Demonstrate a significant increase in the nurses' ability to think critically as well as components of engagement, cognitive maturity and innovativeness after implementing CRD based on Graham Gibbs Cycle (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Case reflection discussion (CRD) based on the Graham Gibbs Cycle increased nurses' critical thinking skills. This research implication thrusts the importance of ascending nurses' education levels, as evidence-based nursing, study material and nurses' theoretical development, monitoring, and evaluation from nursing managements.
