Abstract

The aims of this study were to describe current policy practice related to the use of the HESITM Exit Exam in schools of nursing and to determine which policies result in higher HESI Exit Scores. Deans and directors of nursing schools that administered Elsevier HESI Exit Exam to students during the 2010 academic year were queried. Data were collected regarding students’ HESI Exit Exam results, national nursing licensure examination outcomes, and the schools’ standardized testing policies. A stratified random sample of schools and a total of 5438 student records were obtained, 3084 from Associate Degree (AD) and 2354 from Baccalaureate Degree (BD) programs. NCLEX®-RN outcomes were known for all but 316 (5.8%) students. Four standardized exam policy components were related to higher HESI Exit Exam scores. The study confirmed the robust predictive accuracy of the HESI Exit Exam. A national United States sample of BD and AD nursing programs has demonstrated that standardized end of program assessment results are related to faculty implementation strategies and certain policy components. Evidence-based policy strategies should be evaluated longitudinally to support policy decisions.

标准化预测测试:实践、政策和结果。

本研究的目的是描述与护理学校使用HESITM退出考试相关的当前政策实践，并确定哪些政策导致更高的HESI退出分数。在2010学年对学生进行爱思唯尔HESI毕业考试的护理学院院长和主任进行了询问。收集学生HESI退出考试成绩、国家护理执照考试成绩和学校标准化考试政策的数据。对学校进行分层随机抽样，共获得5438名学生记录，其中副学士学位(AD)课程3084名，学士学位(BD)课程2354名。除316名(5.8%)学生外，所有学生都知道NCLEX®-RN结果。四个标准化考试政策组成部分与较高的HESI毕业考试成绩有关。该研究证实了HESI毕业考试的预测准确性。美国的BD和AD护理项目样本表明，标准化的项目结束评估结果与教师实施策略和某些政策组成部分有关。应该对基于证据的政策战略进行纵向评估，以支持政策决策。
