Summary
This study evaluated nursing baccalaureate program outcomes in Korea using course-embedded assessments. The findings confirm student competency and provide tools for continuous program improvement in nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Higher Education Assessment
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Evaluating nursing baccalaureate programs is crucial for ensuring competent graduates.
- Course-embedded assessment offers a method for measuring program outcomes within the curriculum.
- Previous assessments may not have fully integrated evaluation into the learning process.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing baccalaureate program outcomes in Korea using course-embedded assessments.
- To establish a system for program outcome assessment and confirm student competency.
- To utilize evaluation results for a circular feedback process in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- The study utilized a nursing education curriculum in a Korean nursing school.
- Data were collected from 28 students' program outcome measurements between January 2013 and December 2014.
- Analysis involved pairwise comparison and the analytic hierarchy process.
Main Results:
- Assessment tools with measurable rubrics were developed for each program outcome.
- A ranking of program outcomes, from "care integration" to "global perception," was established through weight calculation.
- Direct assessment results exceeded 70%, while indirect results met the cutoff, except for specific program outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Course-embedded assessment proved adaptive for measuring nursing program outcomes.
- The assessment process provided valuable tools for both faculty and students.
- This approach supports continuous quality improvement in nursing education programs.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.6K
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.

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
