Nursing Students perception, objective structured clinical examination
Abstract
Nursing is a skill based profession and hence assessment of skill in nursing should be 100% objective and focused. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a highly objective method and studying how the nursing students perceive it as an important evaluation tool is important. The aim of the study was to assess the perception of nursing students towards OSCE in practical Nursing assessments. The Research design used was a Non-Experimental descriptive correlational design and the samples were B.Sc(N) Students. The study was conducted at a selected college of Nursing in Coimbatore and the sample size was 70 in II year & III year B.Sc (N) Students. A Non-Probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples. The data collection instrument was the attitude likert scale used to assess the perception of nursing students towards OSCE. Results: The results showed that (77%) from 2nd year and (46%) from 3rd year had favorable perception and (23%) from 2nd year and (54%) from 3rd year had unfavorable perception towards OSCE as an assessment tool in practical Nursing Examinations. There was a statistically significant difference between the II year & III year Nursing Students perception (t = 0.00, P < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings revealed that almost all Nursing students perceived OSCE to be a good and objective assessment tool for practical examinations in Nursing
