Uncovering THE Mysteries OF Transfer: A Critical Examination OF Elements Affecting Nursing Skill Development

Abstract

Knowledge and skill transfer is essential to efficient nursing practice. This study explores the intricacies of transfer and how it might help close the theory-practice gap while promoting flexibility throughout clinical specialties. The study looks at how situational elements, metacognitive processes, and cognitive structures interact to affect transfer success. It makes the case for a methodical approach to teaching for transfer that emphasizes the value of both subject-matter expertise and metacognitive techniques. It is emphasized how important it is for supervisors and context-specific learning opportunities to support strong skill development. It is understood that there are drawbacks to relying too much on general practice environments and that a deeper comprehension of how skills change over time is necessary. The report concludes by highlighting the critical role that research plays in providing educators and supervisors with evidence-based strategies to maximize transfer in the clinical setting.
