Summary
A consensus-based scoring rubric was developed for nursing competency statements using a Delphi study. This tool aims to improve the reliability and validity of practice-based assessments for professional values.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professional Competencies
- Assessment Tools
Background:
- Practice-based assessment of professional competencies faces challenges in reliability and validity.
- Ambiguity in competency statements and achievement levels hinders accurate evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To create a consensus-based scoring rubric for student nurses' professional values competencies.
- To clarify level descriptors through stakeholder interpretation.
Main Methods:
- A two-round Classic e-Delphi methodology was employed.
- 100 stakeholders in nurse education were invited; 47 participated in round one and 51 in round two.
- Content analysis and consensus measurement were used, with a 70% agreement threshold.
Main Results:
- Round one yielded free-text interpretations of competency statements.
- Round two achieved strong consensus (86%-100% agreement) on 24 generated descriptor statements.
- A consensus-based scoring rubric was successfully developed.
Conclusions:
- The Delphi study effectively produced a scoring rubric with clear descriptors for professional values competencies.
- This rubric has the potential to enhance practice-based assessment in healthcare professions.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.9K
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.

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...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

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.
