QUALITATIVE INSIGHTS FROM OBJECTIVE STRUCTURED CLINICAL EXAMINATION (OSCE) DOCUMENTS: EXPERIENCES OF LEVEL II NURSING STUDENTS A.Y. 2022-2023

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a standardized evaluation tool used to evaluate and hire medical professionals in their respective fields by evaluating their clinical competence through the use of medical scenarios, which gauge their knowledge and skills in a clinical simulation. The institution under the study conducted this examination and obtained feedback from the level two nursing students who underwent the examination through critique papers submitted to their respective clinical instructors. The research utilized a Qualitative Document Analysis in Thematic Format as a research design. It analyzed the assessments of the level two nursing students and provided insights into the strengths and weaknesses of OSCE as an evaluation tool. The researchers have gathered that OSCE was perceived by the students as a fair and objective evaluation tool that evaluates clinical competence alongside the student’s knowledge in the nursing field as well as OSCE’s collaborative implications on the different medical fields were also included as this tool may prove to be useful in training different programs to work together inside a clinical simulation proving it to be a viable clinical evaluation tool to be consistently used inside institution.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0198/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
