Nursing has discussed widely and with fervor the level of education required to provide quality nursing care for clients. No clear consensus has developed but studies tend to show that especially in the hospital setting, baccalaureate (BSN) and associate degree (ADN) nurses initially practice at a similar level. No studies identified compared patient ratings of BSN and ADN nurses. In this study ratings of care provided by BSN and ADN students were compared. Patients, students and instructors rated the student sample using Watson's Patient Satisfaction Rating Scale. Using Pearson correlations and t-tests, the overall satisfaction with care was assessed as "very positive" by patients, faculty and students alike. A significant correlation was found between faculty and patient ratings. Results support earlier findings and demonstrate similarities rather than differences in care provided by the two levels of students. Implications for nursing education and practice are discussed.
护理领域已经广泛且热烈地讨论了为患者提供优质护理所需的教育水平。目前尚未形成明确的共识，但研究往往表明，尤其是在医院环境中，拥有学士学位（BSN）和副学士学位（ADN）的护士最初的实践水平相似。没有研究对患者对拥有BSN和ADN的护士的评价进行比较。在本研究中，对拥有BSN和ADN的学生提供的护理进行了评价比较。患者、学生和教师使用沃森患者满意度量表对学生样本进行评价。通过皮尔逊相关性分析和t检验，患者、教师和学生对护理的总体满意度均被评定为“非常积极”。教师和患者的评价之间存在显著相关性。研究结果支持了早期的发现，并表明这两个层次的学生提供的护理存在相似之处而非差异。文中还讨论了对护理教育和实践的启示。
