Conception to constellation: Rethinking coursework research with STARS

Postgraduate nursing education plays a crucial role in equipping nurses with the skills needed for evolving healthcare demands and fostering their ability to contribute to research that improves healthcare services and outcomes. Evaluation of three research subjects prompted a rethink of the threshold concepts, curricula and teaching methods. Drawing upon design thinking principles and informed through industry and community engagement, we redesigned an integrated research portfolio that prioritised the needs of a diverse student cohort. The indevelopment research portfolio is being structured to facilitate seamless transitions for students at various stages of their academic and professional journey, integrating evidence synthesis and research methods into relatable clinical and workplace scenarios. Nurturing critical thinking, engagement and self-assessment of learning, the initiative seeks to foster student engagement and retention while equipping students with the necessary skills to contribute meaningfully to healthcare research and evidence-based practice.
