Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

903
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

7.3K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

2.8K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Data Validation01:03

Data Validation

5.1K
Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
Nursing assessment guides are generally based on holistic models rather than medical...

Obedience01:08

Obedience

32.9K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Assessment and Evaluation
  • Clinical Competency

Background:

  • Medical educators require robust methods to confirm trainee competency.
  • Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) are crucial for assessing clinical skills.
  • Establishing appropriate pass/fail standards for OSCEs is essential for progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop competency-based pass/fail cut-scores for a graduation-required OSCE.
  • To examine the validity evidence supporting these new assessment standards.
  • To evaluate the impact of the revised standards on failure rates and remediation.

Main Methods:

  • Six clinicians utilized the modified Angoff method to establish cut-scores for an 8-station OSCE.
  • Clinicians estimated the probability of minimally competent students answering checklist items correctly.
  • Inter-rater reliability, academic achievement differences, educational impact, and response processes were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The new cut-scores resulted in a significantly lower failure rate (5% compared to 29% previously).
  • Inter-rater reliability across domains and cases was exceptionally high (.98).
  • Pass/fail groups demonstrated significant differences in six of eight academic achievement measures.

Conclusions:

  • The modified Angoff method yielded reliable and valid competency-based cut-scores for the OSCE.
  • The new standards substantially reduced failure rates and associated remediation burdens.
  • Strong validity evidence across multiple metrics supports the use of these revised OSCE standards.
