- Summary:
-
Two of three phases of a study were conducted to (1) assess the state of the art on the prediction of nursing clinical performance and (2) obtain current information from nursing education programs about prediction criteria in use by them. Phase one involved a review of the 1965 through 1975 literature pertaining to studies that focused on the attributes possessed by individuals before they enter a school of nursing, individuals proceeding through the nursing education process, and performance following graduation. During phase two a national survey of 150 nursing schools was done to collect data regarding predictive criteria. Some of the findings follow: (1) The most commonly used admission criteria in decreasing order are health data, high school rank, high school grade point average, applicant interviews, and prior college grade point average; (2) measures of cognitive attributes and achievement were the only predictive measures used by a substantial number of schools, and (3) teacher-made examinations were the most widely used measure of student progress in theory while clinical performance was evaluated by ratings of technical, interpersonal relations, problem solving, and assessment skills. (This report contains twenty-two tables summarizing the 398 studies reviewed during phase one. Each citation is cross-referenced with an annotated bibliography. The study's third phase, a follow-up of graduates, is currently underway.) (EM)
