Abstract: Healthcare practitioners must carefully consider patient data and draw reliable conclusions as part of the diagnostic procedure. Additionally, it is essential for moral and legal reasons to safeguard patient anonymity. This aims to improve patient care and healthcare outcomes by examining how critical thinking can improve diagnostic accuracy and confidentiality. The descriptive quantitative approach was adopted in this pilot investigation. Fifty instructors from a local hospital in an informal sample. The data was gathered by online surveys that were pre- and post-administered by the lead investigator. Quick post-classroom survey responses revealed gains in all measures of perceived capacity for imparting critical thinking. All response rates increased between the pre-and post-training surveys, with the ranking of the capacity to impart critical thinking being the only question where ratings increased. Staff involved in nursing advancement should be able to conduct a self-assessment of their proficiency in this area. When gaps in knowledge are exposed, remediation through teaching is warranted.
