Abstract

Abstract: Aim: The aim was to describe the development of a caritative caring conceptual model aimed to facilitate undergraduate nursing students' learning during clinical practice. Design: An explorative design was used. Methods: The Delphi method with a panel of 12 experts together with a literature search with a systematic approach were used and data were analysed according to content analysis. Results: The Model for Improvements in Learning Outcomes (MILO) consists of eight core concepts divided into four intrapersonal concepts (nursing, a reflective approach, a critical approach, quality and safety) and four contextual concepts (peer learning, co-clinical teachers, student-centred and student-active supervision, a good learning environment). MILO is grounded in the theory of caritative caring with a hermeneutic approach and the understanding of caring and learning as parallel processes. Tools such as reflection, structure and guiding pm are used to intertwine caring, nursing, pathophysiology and medicine. Conclusions: MILO intertwines didactics with concepts important for nursing students' learning with a foundation in caritative caring and may facilitate undergraduate nursing students' learning in clinical practice. Highlights: Caritative care combined with caring didactics visualize a new approach in learning. Caring and learning are intertwined phenomena important when learning nursing. Intrapersonal- and contextual core concepts defined, represent learning symbolic. The core concepts can promote understanding and structure in clinical practice. Collaborations between clinical and university faculty can benefit learning.
