Development of an entrustable professional activity assessment tool for master of nursing specialist students: a study based on an electronic information platform
To develop an electronic information platform-based assessment tool for entrustable professional activities (EPAs) of master of nursing specialist (MNS) students.
Methods
2
The study used the content analysis method to construct the draft of the assessment tool
which was finalized using the expert meeting method. An electronic information platform was developed based on the assessment tool. The functions of the platform was optimized using the focus group interview method.
Results
2
Based on previous research on the EPA framework for MNS students
an EPA assessment tool was developed
including an assessment form and an assessment protocol. The assessment form consisted of three parts: description of the EPAs
supervision level
and narrative feedback. The assessment protocol covered the assessment objects
assessment initiation strategy
assessment implementation-entrustment decision making
assessment cycle
and quality control. The electronic information platform includes both web-based and mobile app interfaces
with user roles for clinical instructors
graduate students
and project administrators
and with functions such as assessment application
assessment initiation
historical assessment review
and assessment information management.
Conclusions
2
The study developed an EPA assessment tool for MNS students. The tool relies on the convenience and efficiency of the electronic information platform
facilitates clinical instructors in observing the comprehensive performance of MNS students in multiple competencies
and promotes postgraduate students' professional development. Future research will further explore the effectiveness of this tool in assessing clinical practice competencies of MNS students
with the aim of advancing the practice of EPAs in nursing masters' education.
