The evaluation of multi-project assessment of fundamental nursing skills / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To illustrate the different levels of fundamental nursing skills of undergradu ate nursing students,and explore the characteristics of the assessment method.Methods With descriptive statistics,one-way analysis of variance after rank transformation,and multiple comparison (Scheffe),we made an analysis of 1 340 assessment records of fundamental nursing skills.Results The score distributions of all the skills,but the skill of measuring vital signs,conformed to Gaussian distribution.The overall distribution shaped in peak state and was negative skewness,showing bias towards 70 to 90 score levels.The score levels of 60 and 70 were significantly higher than that of their surrounding levels.The scores of aspiration of sputum,oxygenic therapy and aseptic technique were the lowest,while the scores of closed bed making and intramuscular injection were the highest.Conclusions The score distribution of fundamental nursing skills is rational,which shows the methods of teaching and assessment are generally believable.But the individual bias cannot be ignored.The majority of students get high grades.Different levels do exist among different skills because of abstract or concrete characteristics and principal matters.
