The aim of this study was to develop a valid assessment tool to guide clinical education and evaluate students' performance in clinical nursing education. The development of the Clinical Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (CAT-NE) was based on the theory of nursing as professional caring and the Bologna learning outcomes. Benson and Clark's four steps of instrument development and validation guided the development and assessment of the tool. A mixed-methods approach with individual structured cognitive interviewing and quantitative assessments was used to validate the tool. Supervisory teachers, a pedagogical consultant, clinical expert teachers, clinical teachers, and nursing students at the University of Akureyri in Iceland participated in the process. This assessment tool is valid to assess the clinical performance of nursing students; it consists of rubrics that list the criteria for the students' expected performance. According to the students and their clinical teachers, the assessment tool clarified learning objectives, enhanced the focus of the assessment process, and made evaluation more objective. Training clinical teachers on how to assess students' performances in clinical studies and use the tool enhanced the quality of clinical assessment in nursing education.
本研究的目的是开发一种有效的评估工具，以指导临床教育并评估学生在临床护理教育中的表现。护理教育临床评估工具（CAT-NE）的开发基于专业护理理论和博洛尼亚学习成果。本森和克拉克仪器开发与验证的四个步骤指导了该工具的开发和评估。采用了个体结构化认知访谈和定量评估相结合的混合方法来验证该工具。冰岛阿库雷里大学的督导教师、教学顾问、临床专家教师、临床教师和护理专业学生参与了这一过程。该评估工具可有效评估护理专业学生的临床实践表现；它由列出学生预期表现标准的评分细则组成。据学生及其临床教师反映，该评估工具明确了学习目标，增强了评估过程的重点，并使评估更加客观。对临床教师进行如何评估学生在临床学习中的表现以及如何使用该工具的培训，提高了护理教育中临床评估的质量。
