The theory-practice gap and skill acquisition: An issue for nursing education
چکیده انگلیسی

Matching textbook descriptions of clinical situations with the reality of practice is an ongoing problem faced by members of the nursing profession and is commonly referred to as the “theory-practice gap”. This ubiquitous gap is inevitably encountered by all nurses at various times; yet it is widely agreed that it is student nurses – given their novice, rule governed status – who find themselves in the midst of the theory-practice void.This paper will discuss the nature of the theory-practice gap and skill acquisition, in relation to a personal experience of mine as an undergraduate nursing student, and its significance in relation to student anxiety levels, nurse education (specifically the roles of the classroom teacher and clinical educators), teaching methods and the responsibility of the student to become accountable for their own education. I intend to communicate how my personal situation was dealt with and evaluate that experience in relation to current nursing literature. Ultimately, this discussion will demonstrate the value of reflection underpinning the development of competency in nursing and its role in bridging the theory-practice gap.
