Abstract

GURKOVÁ, E. – CIBRÍKOVÁ, S. – ŽIAKOVÁ, K. Methods of clinical evalution of nursing students. In Ošetrovateľstvo: teória, výskum, vzdelávanie [online], 2015, vol. 5, no. 1, pp. 31-37. Available on: https://www.osetrovatelstvo.eu/en/archive/2015-volume-5/number-1/methods-of-clinical-evalution-of-nursing-students.

Background: In nursing education, clinical evaluation is important for students, teachers and patients and there is a need to evaluate with valid and reliable scales.

Objective: To investigate the usefulness and implementation of the Slovak version of the Nursing Student Clinical Performance Evaluation Scale in clinical evaluation of nursing students.

Design: Instrument development.

Sample and methods: Data were collected at 2014/2015 academic years and 89 evaluations of third year students formed the study population. The structure validity of the scale was evaluated with factor analyses and reliability of the scale with Cronbach’s alpha and item-to-total correlation.

Results: We identified high internal consistency in three subscales ‘nursing process’, ‘professionalism’ and ‘ethical principles’. The Slovak version was not conceptually consistent with the original version. Three factors with an eigenvalue greater than one were extracted. These factors were ‘nursing process’, ‘responsibility and professionalis,’ and ‘continuity in nursing care.’

Conclusion: The Slovak version of the Nursing Student Clinical Performance Evaluation Scale can be used to evaluate nursing students’ performance in clinical settings. A valid and reliable tool may allow an objective evaluation of nursing students’ performance in clinical settings.

Keywords: clinical practice, education, evaluation, nurses, nursing, nursing students
