The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely used in nursing education, but its implementation is costly and resource intensive, potentially limiting its feasibility. A five-station OSCE was designed to replace a previously validated 12-station OSCE but was not evaluated for its psychometric properties.
This study aimed to evaluate the validity, reliability, acceptability, educational impact, and cost of a five-station OSCE using Van der Vleuten's utility formula.
This study was based on a cross-sectional, nonexperimental design involving psychometric testing, a survey, and a cost analysis.
The five-station OSCE showed high content and predictive validity and inter-rater reliability among examiners. The OSCE format was well accepted by participants and achieved a cost saving of 45.2% compared with the 12-station format.
The five-station OSCE provides an authentic and objective assessment of competence among newly graduated nurses.
客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)广泛应用于护理教育,但实施成本高,资源密集,可能限制其可行性。本研究设计了一个五站 OSCE 来替代先前验证的十二站 OSCE,但未对其心理测量特性进行评估。
本研究旨在使用范德维伦效用公式评估五站 OSCE 的有效性、可靠性、可接受性、教育影响和成本。
这是一项基于横断面、非实验设计的研究,包括心理测量测试、调查和成本分析。
五站 OSCE 具有较高的内容和预测有效性,以及评估者之间的评分者间可靠性。OSCE 格式得到了参与者的认可,并与十二站格式相比节省了 45.2%的成本。
五站 OSCE 为新毕业护士的能力提供了真实和客观的评估。
