Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Clinical Skills Assessment
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Traditional final medical examinations present limitations in assessing nurse practitioner clinical competence.
  • Standardized assessment tools are crucial for evaluating the complex physical examination skills required of nurse practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a modified Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) for assessing physical examination skills in nurse practitioner students.
  • To explore the utility of this modified OSCE as a tool for both formative and summative assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modified OSCE utilizing healthy student volunteers as standardized patients.
  • Implementation of the OSCE at Bournemouth University for nurse practitioner education.

Main Results:

  • The modified OSCE provides a standardized method for evaluating physical examination skills.
  • This assessment approach can serve as a learning resource and identify specific skill deficits.
  • The process-oriented evaluation complements traditional product-focused assessments.

Conclusions:

  • The modified OSCE is a valuable tool for assessing nurse practitioner students' clinical competence in physical examinations.
  • This model offers a flexible and effective approach for formative and summative evaluation in nursing education.
  • The Bournemouth University experience provides a transferable model for other institutions developing OSCEs.
