This study will employ Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory-observational learning to give a solid theoretical/conceptual framework for evaluating and understanding the lived experiences of senior nursing students of shift-to-shift handoff communication during their senior clinical practicum experience in an acute hospital setting.
The paper the writer will discuss the following:
The Theoretical Framework
The writer will explain in detail how the framework will guide the study. Theoretical Framework/Conceptual Framework must include an education to support the development of the study and must include a definition of the theorist. The writer should include in the discussion teaching shift-to-shift handoff communication; using SBAR tool to facilitate communication; and training during senior clinical practicum in an acute hospital setting. The well-known theoretical framework—Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory- observational learning and the four processes that influence observational learning ( attention, retention, motor reproduction, reinforcement and motivation) will direct the theoretical framework on the lived experiences of senior nursing students in the context of shift-to-shift handoff communication during their practicum experience.
Summary
Provide a summary of the theoretical framework and how observational learning influences student nurses when training to deliver handoff communication.
