Using Digital Media to Assess Practice Competencies in Student Nurses
• With over 10,000 students, we are the largest provider of health, social care and education courses across the East of England. We currently train the majority of nurses, midwives, operating department practitioners and paramedics and teachers across the eastern region.
• 1500 Pre-Registration Student Nurses • 'Outstanding' for the fit-for-practice category
in the NMC review of the nursing and midwifery course provision (NMC, 2013).
MyProgress Trial
• Trial 30 paediatric Student Nurses • Electronic competencies on tablets• Works in placement in without the
need for internet or Wi-Fi. • Runs on MyKnowlegdeMap Server
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, theonly way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.
Rationale
• MyProgress allows for the electronic completion and assessment of student professional development portfolios via both a computer web based environment and / or a mobile tablet device.
• The system, compared to the traditional paper-based alternatives, will greatly enhance the ability of lecturers to support and monitor student progress while in placement on an individual and group basis.
• It has excellent potential to enhance the quality of practice learning, particularly practice assessment and closely support mentors with their role.
Quick Wins
•Rapid identification of students at risk of
failure and facilitation of early intervention, a
key contributor to retention and standard
completion.
•Review and support of mentors’ engagement
with assessment, ensuring consistent and
reliable assessment of practice across multiple
practice bases
•Increased good academic practice / precludes
the falsification of documentation through email
verified sign off of assessments
•Rapid and responsive communication
between students, mentors and lecturers
Potential
•Student & Mentor acquisition of digital literacy skills.
•Reduction in attrition rates
•Sustainability
•Reports / metrics can be ‘pulled’ from the system.
•Ability to develop innovative ways to assess students e.g.
OSCE function
•Attendance/ time sheets can be approved on the device
and accessed remotely by HEI
•Practice placement evaluations can be incorporated and
collected
•Employability - development of a CPD portfolio for CV
purposes (MyShowcase).
•Bank of assessment tools /instruments can be established
to prevent repetition for academics and increase sharing
opportunities
Challenges
• Clinical Governance• Device Storage• Student understanding of the
practice assessment.• Mentor understanding of the
practice assessment• Academic engagement• Email addresses• Locating completed assessments• Cameras
Next Steps
This project will introduce the use of electronic practice assessment to:•Sept 2014 student nurses in Cambridgeshire (n=180). Students commence practice for year 2 in February 2016.•March 2016 work based learning student nurses (n=25).
