Traditional nursing education utilizing didactic knowledge transmission has proven insufficient for developing time-critical electrocardiographic interpretation skills. Rapid cycle deliberate practice emerges as an innovative methodology integrating deliberate practice principles, immediate feedback, and psychologically safe environments through pause-coach-resume mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Semi-structured interviews utilized Tanner\u2019s clinical judgment model as the questioning framework, supplemented by field observations. Interviews explored experiences around the noticing-interpreting-responding-reflecting continuum, with analysis conducted using NVivo software following van Manen\u2019s methodology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four interconnected themes emerged: shifting perceptual focus from fragmented data perception toward holistic pattern recognition; shifting cognitive models from mechanical matching toward integrating intuition and evidence; evolving response patterns from hesitant reactivity toward confident proactivity; and redefined professional role encompassing new professional identity, ethical responsibility, and continuous learning commitment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis through Tanner\u2019s clinical judgment framework suggested perceived multidimensional shifts within critical cardiac care nurses\u2019 clinical judgment processes, as reflected in participants\u2019 descriptions of changes transcending technical skill acquisition to encompass reconceptualizations of clinical reasoning, professional identity, and ethical responsibility. Notably, the psychologically safe environment created through the pause-coach-resume mechanism appeared central to enabling these perceived shifts. These findings indicate that effective competency development requires educational approaches addressing cognitive, behavioral, and identity dimensions simultaneously, with implications for institutional integration of rapid cycle deliberate practice into staff development and future longitudinal investigation of its effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0353168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]],"date-time":"2026-07-06T17:26:44Z","timestamp":1783358804000},"page":"e0353168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From noticing to reflection: A qualitative exploration of rapid cycle deliberate practice effects on electrocardiographic monitoring judgment in critical cardiac care nurses"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenyu","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8996-2367","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lili","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0353168.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjcn\/zvae098.036","article-title":"Cardiology intensive care unit nurse in Italy: definition of advanced competences.
