Abstract

Aim

This study investigated the relationship between learner reactions and objective learning, and using scaffolded objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) to demonstrate competency mastery.

Background

Simulation-based education that employs best practices provides a mechanism for teaching and learning in a competency-based education paradigm. Evidence-informed practices specifically in graduate nursing education are lacking.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design assessed learner reactions and objective learning outcomes of graduate nursing students.

Results

While student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning were strongly related to each other, they showed only weak correlations with OSCE grades. Patient-centered competency grades increased across OSCE experiences.

Conclusion

To promote learning, faculty should use best-practices to execute simulation in graduate education. Scaffolded OSCEs can demonstrate progressive competency mastery.

在研究生护理课程中使用展开的osce来实施基于能力的教育评估

目的探讨学习者反应与客观学习之间的关系，并利用架式客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）检验学习者的能力掌握情况。采用最佳实践的基于模拟的教育为基于能力的教育范式中的教学提供了一种机制。特别是在研究生护理教育中缺乏循证实践。方法采用准实验设计评估护理研究生的学习反应和客观学习效果。结果学生满意度与学习自信呈显著相关，但与OSCE成绩呈弱相关。以病人为中心的能力等级在欧安组织的经验中有所提高。结论为促进学习，教师应在研究生教育中运用最佳实践实施模拟教学。架空式osce可以证明渐进式能力掌握。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
