To gain an understanding of patterns of retention and attrition for student nurses on the diploma of higher education (DipHE)/bachelor of science (B.Sc.) (adult) on completion of the common foundation programme (CFP=year 1 of the programme).
A questionnaire called the "interview score sheet" (ISS) collected data on six cohorts from a Higher Education Institution in Scotland. At the initial recruitment interview each candidate was scored independently by two interviewers on the ISS. Successful/unsuccessful attempts of theory-based and practice-based modules, and any reasons for attrition were recorded throughout the CFP. For the purposes of this study success was defined as achieving a pass grade in all modules associated with year 1 of the programme.
The study investigated the potential of the ISS in providing a reliable guide for student selection onto the DipHE/B.Sc. in nursing (adult) and providing information about the characteristics of a typical successful/unsuccessful student from the CFP.
Statistical analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between the total score on the ISS, any characteristics on the ISS and the students' successful completion of the CFP.
Six-hundred and thirty-eight students entered the CFP: 118 (18%) were unsuccessful and 520 (82%) were successful completers of the CFP. From the characteristics noted at interview on the ISS, the most reliable predictor of success was age. The total score achieved on the ISS was shown not to be a reliable predictor of success. Although not statistically significant, testing of numeracy and standard and content of written work may be of some value in predicting success and may warrant further study.
了解高等教育文凭（DipHE）/理学学士（B.Sc.）（成人）学生护士在完成共同基础课程（CFP=课程的第 1 年）后的保留和流失模式。
一份名为“面试评分表”（ISS）的问卷收集了苏格兰一所高等教育机构的六个队列的数据。在最初的招聘面试中，每位候选人都由两名面试官根据 ISS 进行独立评分。在 CFP 期间，记录了理论和实践模块的成功/失败尝试以及任何流失原因。在本研究中，成功被定义为在与课程第 1 年相关的所有模块中获得及格成绩。
本研究调查了 ISS 在为 DipHE/B.Sc. 护理（成人）学生提供可靠的选拔指南以及提供有关 CFP 中典型成功/失败学生特征方面的潜力。
进行了统计分析，以检查 ISS 总分、ISS 上的任何特征与学生成功完成 CFP 之间的相关性。
638 名学生进入 CFP：118 名（18%）不成功，520 名（82%）成功完成 CFP。从 ISS 面试记录的特征来看，成功的最可靠预测因素是年龄。ISS 总分不是成功的可靠预测因素。虽然没有统计学意义，但对计算能力和标准以及书面工作的内容进行测试可能对预测成功有一定价值，并值得进一步研究。
