Abstract
Background and Aim: Considering the large number of nursing students and the need for their skills training as an internship in the field under the supervision of clinical nurses, evaluating their performance plays an essential role. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the current status of clinical performance evaluation of nursing students in the clinical field.
Materials and Methods: The present study is descriptive-cross-sectional. In order to answer the research questions, the required information has been collected through library and field methods. The sampling method was census. In order to evaluate the clinical performance of nursing students in the 7th and 8th semesters, a descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. All students of the 7th and 8th semesters of nursing were selected and there were 145 people who all participated in the study with satisfaction. The clinical performance evaluation checklist of Ismaili nursing students and colleagues in 2013 was used. This questionnaire has 28 questions in three areas of nursing process with 12 questions, professionalism with 9 questions and ethical principles with 7 questions. SPSS statistical software version 20 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to present and describe table preparation information, percentage calculation, mean and standard deviation.
Ethical Considerations: Ethical considerations have been observed in all stages of research, including the study and collection of data, their documentation, analysis and publication.
Findings: The results showed that the mean and standard deviation of the total performance appraisal of 7th and 8th semester nursing students is .5 ±2.03 which is in the average range. The highest mean score of performance evaluation was related to the dimension of students' ethics with an average of 6 ± 2.3 and the lowest mean score was related to the scope of the nursing process with 5±2. The mean score of the professional behavior range was .6±2.1. Findings showed that 7th and 8th semester nursing students are moderate in their performance evaluation.
Conclusion: Paying attention to the moral principles and the importance to the clients and their needs is one of the basic principles of ethics that students should consider.
