Approximately 58% of the RN nursing programs in the United States are associate degree programs (ADN). The curricula of these programs are designed to prepare graduates to competently provide direct patient care. The purpose of this descriptive comparative study was to evaluate the nursing performance of ADN graduates as perceived by graduates, faculty, and employers. In the first phase of the study, graduates and faculty completed the Six-Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance (6-DSNP) at the time of graduation. Six months later, the graduates again were asked to complete the same questionnaire along with their employers. Findings indicated a significant difference in the planning and evaluation performance of graduates at graduation and 6 months later as perceived by the graduates. Graduates rated themselves significantly higher in all areas of performance when compared to faculty and employers. There was no significant difference in the perception of graduate performance between faculty and employers. This outcome assessment provides needed data on perceptions of ADN programs.
美国约58%的注册护士护理项目是副学士学位项目（ADN）。这些项目的课程旨在培养毕业生能够胜任直接的患者护理工作。这项描述性比较研究的目的是评估毕业生、教师和雇主所感知的ADN毕业生的护理表现。在研究的第一阶段，毕业生和教师在毕业时完成了护理表现六维度量表（6-DSNP）。六个月后，毕业生再次被要求与他们的雇主一起完成相同的问卷。研究结果表明，毕业生所感知的毕业时和六个月后的毕业生在计划和评估表现方面存在显著差异。与教师和雇主相比，毕业生在所有表现领域给自己的评分都显著更高。教师和雇主对毕业生表现的看法没有显著差异。这一结果评估提供了关于ADN项目看法的所需数据。
