Summary
Video assessment in nursing education is a valuable tool for skill development. Students found video analysis helpful, with fewer concerns after the experience, highlighting its benefits for competency assessment.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
- Healthcare Professional Training
Background:
- Limited clinical practice opportunities necessitate simulated environments for nursing students.
- Video recording and analysis are increasingly used in simulated clinical settings for skills assessment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore children's nursing students' perceptions and support needs regarding video assessment in a simulated clinical environment.
- To evaluate the impact of video assessment on student confidence and feedback preferences.
Main Methods:
- Second-year children's nursing students participated in the study.
- Self-completion questionnaires were administered before (n=29) and after (n=24) the video assessment experience.
Main Results:
- Students reported positive views on video analysis, with an increased appreciation for visual feedback.
- Pre-assessment concerns decreased significantly (79% to 58%), with many initial worries disappearing post-assessment.
- All students found video analysis useful; most preferred group feedback, though some noted concerns about assessor consistency.
Conclusions:
- Video assessment in clinical skills labs is viewed positively by students for evaluating competency.
- Student concerns about video assessment diminish after experience, with recognized benefits.
- Findings inform improved approaches to implementing video assessment in nursing education.
