Abstract

Despite the ever-changing complexity of health care delivery, nursing education must continue the commitment to the provision of holistic care, supported by critical reflection. The Ignatian Pedagogy Model presented in this article, a teaching-learning strategy, asks critical reflective questions that focus on context, experience, action, and evaluation that support the nursing tradition of a holistic focus. This article provides explanation and application exemplars of this Ignatian Pedagogy Model in addition to descriptive survey results pertaining to use of this strategy.
