Education


Pesut received his B.S.N. degree in Nursing from Northern Illinois University in 1975 and his M.S.N. degree in Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Texas. He completed his Doctoral degree in Nursing from the University of Michigan in 1984.




Career


Pesut worked as a Staff Nurse and Clinical Nurse Specialist for United States Army Nurse Corps during the 1970s and then joined the University of Michigan's School of Nursing as an Associate Professor in 1978.

Walton Lillehei Chair in Nursing Leadership.

Research


Pesut has conducted research on nursing education, along with creative-teaching learning methods, self-regulation of health status, clinical reasoning, academic career coaching, and leadership development in the health professions. He has focused his research on how the creative processes support personal and professional development, enhance clinical reasoning, and provide a foundation for future thinking.




= Clinical reasoning

=
Pesut explored the effect of self‐regulated learning theory on reflective practice in nursing, and found that students’ cognitive and metacognitive skills were improved by using self‐regulated learning strategies, and these skills in turn supported the development of clinical reasoning skills in nursing students.
Pesut studied the three generations of traditional nursing process and proposed a third generation model, called the Outcome Present State Test (OPT) model, that highlighted the importance of critical, metacognitive, and thinking skills that support outcome specification and testing in clinical reasoning.
In the 2000, Pesut conducted research on using the OPT model to promote clinical reasoning in nursing students. He also worked on application and evaluation of teaching-learning strategies associated with self-regulated learning model (SRL) and the OPT model. Pesut's study indicated that the use of guided reflection along with the learning tools of the OPT model increased clinical reasoning skill acquisition, and improved the effectiveness of structured teaching learning strategies.




= Creative-teaching learning methods

=
Pesut worked on Problem-based learning (PBL) as a teaching strategy and conducted a study to assess the impact of PBL curriculum on master's students' Learning Style Inventory (LSI). He applied experiential learning theory to compare LSI scores of MSN students before and after two semesters of using PBL in Nursing Administration core courses. His study indicated that students' preference increased for the conceptualizing–experiencing pole in the learning cycle. Pesut also applied Boyatzis and Kolb's Learning Skills Profile to assess the outcomes of a problem-based learning MSN program and observed increases in all the learning skills.




= Nursing practice

=
Pesut developed a model that conceptualized creative thinking as a self-regulatory process and reframed creativity technologies as metacognitive strategies. He highlighted the various implications of the model regarding education, research, and program development in creativity training endeavors. He studied behavioral motivation and work motivation theories and derived a model of nurses' work motivation regarding the human caring stance of professional nursing work. His proposed model provides various leadership and management strategies to develop a motivational caring culture in health care organizations.
Pesut studied the implementation of complex systems theory in the fields of nursing education and practice, and highlighted the role of nursing informaticists in the integration of emerging computational tools.




= Foresight leadership

=
Pesut’s later research is focused on the development of foresight leadership initiative in nursing and healthcare domains. He conducted various presentations regarding the concept of foresight leadership. Pesut also focused on the importance of foresight leadership in the anticipation of disruptive innovations in health care. He highlighted the various selected disruptive trends along with the strategies and resources needed to develop foresight leadership in health care and nursing, which can then be used for anticipating future trends influencing doctoral nursing education.
