The effect of objective structured clinical examinations for nursing students
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) effectively improved nursing students' knowledge retention in core skills. This educational strategy enhanced clinical competency and knowledge levels for pre-licensure nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Skills Assessment
- Healthcare Professional Training
Background:
- The Korean Accreditation Board of Nursing Education identified 20 core nursing skills crucial for professional practice.
- Developing proficiency in these core skills is essential for nursing students.
- The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a recognized educational strategy for skill development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of the OSCE on core nursing skills among pre-licensure nursing students in Korea.
- To assess changes in nursing students' confidence, skill acquisition, and knowledge retention following OSCE implementation.
- To investigate the effectiveness of OSCE as an educational tool in nursing curricula.
Main Methods:
- A study involving 207 pre-licensure nursing students in Korea.
- Utilized a one-way analysis of variance and Fisher's least significant difference for data analysis.
- Measured student confidence, skills, and knowledge acquisition and retention across four nursing areas: fall, transfusion, pre-operative, and post-operative care.
Main Results:
- Students reported the highest confidence levels in pre-operative nursing.
- Students achieved the highest scores in transfusion nursing during the OSCE.
- Significant differences were observed in prior knowledge, knowledge acquisition, and knowledge retention.
Conclusions:
- The OSCE significantly improved nursing students' knowledge retention after lectures and practical skill sessions.
- Implementing the OSCE can positively influence students' knowledge levels and enhance their clinical competency.
- OSCE serves as a valuable tool for strengthening core nursing skills and overall clinical preparedness.
