Summary
A new scale, the Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N), was developed to assess nursing education programs. This tool helps evaluate the hidden curriculum, improving educational quality for nursing students.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education Research
- Educational Measurement
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Affective awareness in nursing students is crucial for enhancing undergraduate education quality.
- Understanding the hidden curriculum is vital for improving nursing education programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating the hidden curriculum in bachelor's degree nursing education.
- To create the Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N).
Main Methods:
- Methodological scale development study involving university nursing faculty and students.
- Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (EFA & CFA) for construct validity.
- Content validity, pilot study, predictive validity (Pearson correlation), and test-retest reliability were assessed.
Main Results:
- The Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N) comprises 43 items across three subdimensions.
- Factor analyses confirmed the scale's structure.
- The scale demonstrated high internal consistency reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.912.
Conclusions:
- Nursing institutions should acknowledge and evaluate their hidden curriculum to align formal outcomes with intended student graduation outcomes.
- The HCES-N provides a psychometrically sound tool to facilitate the evaluation of hidden curricula in nursing education.
- Implementing the HCES-N can aid in improving the quality and effectiveness of nursing education programs.

2.3K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

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.

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.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

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.
