Abstract

Background: Nursing tests are considered a high-stakes method of evaluating students' mastery of learned concepts and a means to prepare students for the licensing examination. After observing a downward trend in nursing program graduates' NCLEX-RN pass rates, an increase in test question issues, and anticipating the NCLEX-RN changes to the NGN format in 2023, the department sought to increase test quality.

Method: Using shared governance, faculty mentorship, and evidence-based test practices, a testing methodology and process was created by implementing a test review committee.

Results: Implementation of the test review committee demonstrated a significant improvement in the quality of tests administered, facilitated improved faculty test development, and increased student preparedness for the 2023 NGN examination by demonstrating a 100% pass rate.

Conclusion: Although implementing the test review committee and changing test practice required continued faculty support and mentorship, the outcome produced a standardized quality testing process that demonstrated student success. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(10):679-685.].

通过开发同行评审方法改进本科护理测试实践。

背景：护理考试被认为是评估学生对所学概念掌握情况的一种高风险方法，也是学生为执业资格考试做准备的一种手段。在观察到护理专业毕业生的 NCLEX-RN 通过率呈下降趋势、试题问题增加以及预计 2023 年 NCLEX-RN 将改为 NGN 格式之后，该系试图提高考试质量：方法：利用共同管理、教师指导和循证测试实践，通过成立测试审查委员会，创建了一套测试方法和流程：结果：考试审查委员会的实施显著提高了考试质量，促进了教师考试开发的改进，并通过 100% 的通过率提高了学生对 2023 年 NGN 考试的准备程度：尽管实施考试审查委员会和改变考试做法需要教师的持续支持和指导，但结果是产生了一个标准化的高质量考试过程，证明了学生的成功。[护理教育杂志，2024；63（10）：679-685]。
