摘要

Objective

Note-taking is essential approach in nursing education for academic success and clinical effectiveness. In this analysis, a stepwise approach was applied to identify relevant attributes, adapt structured formats including SOAP and SBAR to the local context, and evaluate their effect on students’ documentation skills and academic performance.

Result

This analysis assessed the impact of structured note-taking on nursing students’ documentation and academic performance. Among 35 participants (mean age 22.9, mostly senior females), only 28.6% initially demonstrated good note-taking skills. Despite 60% reporting strong motivation, engagement in classes and clinical rounds was low and just 40% rated their academic performance as strong. Defining attributes of effective note-taking was defined by clarity, organization, clinical relevance, and structured formats (SOAP, SBAR). Antecedents included motivation, prior exposure, time, and faculty support, whereas consequences of poor practices resulted in fragmented documentation, weak recall, and limited reasoning. Conversely, structured note-taking improved comprehension, documentation, and decision-making. Challenges such as time pressure, unfamiliar terms, and lack of training were reported, though instructors observed clearer reasoning and communication with structured formats. A paired samples t-test confirmed significant post-intervention improvement (t = -5.88, p < 0.0001). Overall, structured, context-specific note-taking enhances nursing students’ clinical reasoning, communication, and academic success.
