INTER-PROFESSIONAL 360-DEGREE EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF INTENSIVE CARE UNIT NURSES

A 360-degree evaluation is an objective evaluation method for people to be surveyed by evaluators from various positions and perspectives. The purpose of this study to create an objective method of 'comprehensive' verification of the entire survey using Spearman rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon signed rank test. With these statistical methods, a detailed correlation and comparison between the self-evaluation of intensive care unit nurses and their evaluation by staff of other medical occupations could be assessed. Detailed correlations and differences were clarified for each survey item and surveyees. By a scoring method that takes into account the correlation and comparison results of the evaluation scores in evaluators and surveyees, and the total evaluation scores were visualized as radar charts. Our results could highlight agreement and discrepancies between the evaluations performed by the surveyees and those by the evaluators. This time, the survey was conducted with a small number of surveyors, surveyees, and survey items, but the possibility of responding to a larger scale survey was indicated. It might be meaningful to make full use of statistical methods to comprehensively evaluate the overall survey results and clearly show them in visual methods such as radar charts.
