Family Nursing Labs: Shifts, Changes, and Innovations

This article describes recent innovations and shifts in the family skills labs that have been offered since 1995 in the undergraduate family nursing curriculum at the University of Calgary. The authors describe a shift from a strict adherence to role play as a way to teach and hone skills in working with families to more experiential and interactive exercises aimed at creating personal, meaningful, and realistic possibilities in learning. The lab activities are based on the belief that family nursing is a relational practice that is best learned through experiential and inquiry-based activities. Student feedback suggests these changes in the delivery of the family nursing labs are notably reshaping students’ thinking and practices in the nursing of families.

Key Words: nursing education • learning strategies • family nursing • practice labs
