摘要
提供直接护理,通过临床小时报告量化,是护理计划的一个组成部分。尽管呼吁进行研究,但目前的文献几乎没有提供与临床实践小时数相关的最佳实践的证据。执照考试是衡量学生对护理基本组成部分掌握程度的一种常用手段,可以提供这样的证据。目的本研究旨在探讨执照考试成绩与临床时数之间的潜在关系。方法研究人员在四年的时间里对38个学士学位项目的NCLEX®表现与临床时数之间的关系进行了研究。结果临床完成时数与NCLEX表现呈极弱的负相关。数据无统计学意义,r(38) = - 0.051, p = 0.760。结论临床时数可能有不可测量的价值。然而,缺乏数据支持特定的临床时间承诺可能会对护理教育资源投资模式产生疑问。目前可测量的证据无法验证临床时数中的特定时间承诺。
Clinical time and national council licensure exam results for baccalaureate programs
Background
Providing direct care, quantified by clinical hour reporting, is an integral component of nursing programs. Despite calls for research, current literature provides little evidence for best practices related to quantity of clinical practice hours. Licensure exams, a common means to measure student mastery of essential components in nursing, may provide such evidence.
Aim
The study aims to investigate a potential relationship between licensure exam performance and time in clinical hours.
Methods
The researchers examined the relationship between NCLEX® performance and clinical hours in 38 baccalaureate programs over a four year period.
Results
The correlation study indicated a very weak negative correlation between the number of clinical hours completed and NCLEX performance. The data did not demonstrate a statistically significant relationship, r(38) = −0.051, p = 0.760.
Conclusion
Clinical hours may be valuable for reasons that are not measurable. However, the absence of data supporting a particular time commitment to clinical hours may ground questions regarding patterns of resource investments in nursing education. The current measurable evidence fails to validate particular time commitments in clinical hours.
