Download or read book The Development and Utilization of a Daily Clinical Assessment Tool for Use in Maternal Child Nursing written by Elyssa Lakich and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to develop a clinical evaluation tool to use with nursing students in the maternal child clinical rotation at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). The current practice of evaluation does not allow for immediate feedback and improvement. The proposed intervention would be to develop a clinical assessment tool to provide more frequent formative evaluation, rather than summative evaluation at mid and final weeks of a clinical rotation. This Daily Clinical Assessment Tool (DCAT) was developed and implemented during the maternal child clinical rotation with a cohort of Second Bachelor's Degree candidates in a condensed, ten-week semester. The data regarding the use of the DCAT to evaluate progress and direct clinical changes is somewhat inconclusive. Constraining factors of the DCAT include feasibility of completing the tool during the clinical day, interrater reliability, acuity and variation of unit rotations, and the ratio of students to faculty. Facilitating factors include a culture of evaluation at CSUS, student expectation and desire of evaluation, and the variety of clinical learning experiences that lend to evaluation. While the authors recognize that there are improvements to be made to future versions of the DCAT, it is also recognized that overall, the DCAT accomplishes one facet of a large student evaluation system.

Book excerpt: Introduction: The emphasis on the quality and safety of health care has a big influence on ensuring that the accurate assessment of students' performance is implemented in clinical practice. In nursing education clinical assessment tools are used to assess the clinical competence of students. A non-reliable assessment tool can cause a student with inadequate clinical skills to complete the course and work as a professional nurse without adequate clinical knowledge. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality and the content of the clinical assessment tools used to assess clinical competence of four-year diploma nursing students in one of the nursing colleges in Tshwane. Methods and procedures: A quantitative, descriptive design was used to evaluate the quality and content of clinical assessment tools used for students at the selected Nursing College. Purposive sampling was used to select the unit of analysis since it can be used to advantage in certain situation. One assessment tool was purposively selected from each level to assess the following disciplines GNS 100, PNS 100 and CNS 100 except level two where two clinical assessment tools were selected. The two clinical assessment tools selected in level two were GNS 200 and MNS 100. The investigator evaluated all the clinical assessment tools while 20 lecturers who were considered as expects validated the results. A checklist was developed and utilized as a data collection tool. Statistical tests were used to analyze data as recommended with the assistance of the statistician. All ethical issues and quality control measures were maintained throughout the study. Results: Amongst others, the results indicated that less than 50% of the assessment tools had the rating scale provided. The results also showed that only 20% of the assessment tools had assessment objectives clearly described. More than 50% of the assessment tools had the name of the institution, the assessment procedure name, the type of the assessment to be done and the level of the student to be assessed indicated. Conclusion: The study concentrated on the evaluation of clinical assessment tools used to assess diploma nursing students at a selected nursing college in Tshwane. The results indicated areas of concern regarding the quality and the content of clinical assessment tools. Positive results were also indicated. The study further recommended that standardization and guidelines for development of clinical assessment tools for all levels be conducted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant body of knowledge is the basis for a holistic, caring and scientific evidence-based nursing education in practice for professional development. Quality teaching leads to good learning and both aspects are two of the main issues of quality assurance in nursing education today. To begin with, not all nursing students have the same levels of motivation or learning abilities. It is with cognisance of providing quality care for patients that the role of the nurse educator has to be to enhance nursing students' learning using scientific evidence based teaching. Research around teaching and learning processes is an important part of the delivery of quality education, which in turn impacts on students' learning results and experiences, thereby, ensuring holistic biopsychosocial care to patients. The main aim of teaching and learning in nursing, at all levels, is to enhance the nurses' contribution to assist the individuals, families and communities in promoting and preserving health, well-being and to efficiently respond to illnesses. We hope that this book can be used as a resource to increase the body of knowledge in teaching and learning in nursing, thereby enhancing the role and contribution of health care professionals to clinical practice.
