Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Academic Performance

Background:

Baccalaureate nursing programs face pressure to increase graduates due to future workforce demands.
Larger student cohorts in nursing schools present challenges in early academic achievement and retention.
Traditional predictors like scholastic aptitude may not effectively identify students at risk of academic failure in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine if scholastic aptitude and nursing aptitude predict early academic achievement in baccalaureate nursing programs.
To identify reliable predictors for early academic success among nursing students.

Main Methods:

Exploratory descriptive research design.
Data collected from 164 sophomore nursing students.
Analysis of scholastic aptitude and nursing aptitude test scores in relation to academic achievement.

Main Results:

Scholastic aptitude and nursing aptitude combined predicted 20.2% of the variance in early academic achievement.
Scholastic aptitude alone accounted for 15.4% of the variance in early academic achievement.

Conclusions:

Both scholastic and nursing aptitude are significant predictors of early academic achievement in nursing programs.
These findings can inform strategies for student selection and support to enhance retention and meet workforce needs.
