Evaluation of undergraduate students’nursing assessment and communication skills through an objective structured clinical examination within a high-fidelity simulation using a student-simulated patient

Objective:To evaluate nursing students’assessment and communication skills through an objective structured clinical examination(OSCE)within a high-fidelity simulation using a student-simulated patient(SSP)and analyze the validity,reliability,degree of difficulty,and discriminability of the OSCE.Methods:A descriptive study was conducted at one nursing school in Macao.All scenarios were designed using a high-fidelity simulator combined with SSPs.A convenience sample of 54 baccalaureate nursing students completed the OSCE.The nursing assessment OSCE checklist(NAOC)and the communication evaluation rubric(CER)were used as observational measurements with three-point Likert scales(2=Achieved,1=Partly achieved,0=Not completed/Incorrect).Results:Difficulty coefficients of the exam were 0.63 for nursing assessment skills and 0.56 for communication skills.The discrimination index of the majority items of the NAOC(86.4%)was>0.20,showing a better to good discriminability.The items of the CER had satisfactory indexes of item discrimination(from 0.38 to 0.84).Students received high scores in conducting blood oxygen saturation and cardiac and lung auscultation but low scores in vomiting and diarrhea assessment.Students presented good communication skills in eye contacting and listening,but culture assessment needs to be improved.The students with experiences in simulation or simulated patient(SP)interactions had better assessment and communication skills than students without those experiences.There was a positive relationship between nursing assessment and communication skills(r=0.67,P=0.000).Conclusions:SSPs were involved in enhancing the realism of interactions in simulated scenarios.Nursing students can conduct nursing assessments specific to patient conditions,explain the conditions to the patient,and ensure that the patient remains informed at all times of the precautions to be taken.However,students’cultural awareness and some communication skills need further training.With moderate difficulty and high discrimination index,OSCE showed satisfactory reliability and validity.

Evidence of Linkages between Patient Safety and Person-Centred Care in the Maternity and Obstetric Context—An Integrative Review

The aim was to evaluate the current state of knowledge pertaining to patient safety and its link to person-centred care. The international relevance of patient safety has expanded, as have the models of person-centred care. Inspired by this new trend, we collated and summarized the literature for evidence of the two topics. The study was guided by Russell, Whittemore and Knafl’s integrative review framework. An electronic database search was conducted for relevant articles from 2005 to 2016. This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The structure and process of the evaluation of the evidence are described and the findings interpreted by means of a thematic synthesis. One theme emerged: trustful, safe communication in the relationship between the patient, family members and healthcare professionals and two domains;safety culture and multidisciplinary capacity building. The dominant dimension in the safety culture domain is respectful communication, which implies sharing experiences that lead to a sense of control during labour and birth and is related to the women’s feeling of personal capacity. The dominant dimensions in the multidisciplinary capacity building domain are collaborative teamwork, coordination and risk management, knowledge sharing and patient-centred communication. In conclusion, to enhance patient safety, it is necessary to develop patient-focused, evidence-based skills and guidelines as well as a supportive organization. Due to their interaction with patients, midwives’ communication competence on the part of midwives is essential for supporting the birth and fulfilling the women’s needs and expectations.
