Direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) had been commonly used to assess the effectiveness of training outcomes for physicians, but it seldom applied in nursing training programs. The aims of this study were to use workshop to understand the perceptions of DOPS among clinical preceptors and to demonstrate its clinical applications. Clinical preceptors were recruited from a medical center in northern Taiwan. The 4-hour training workshop consisted of DOPS lectures and insulin injection video appreciation. After that, a previous used checklist and DOPS evaluation form were used to assess clinical preceptors. Finally, a group sharing and discussion was done to reach consensus among clinical preceptors. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, t-test, and ANOVA. The overall satisfaction about the training workshop was 93.38 points (out of a 100-point scale). The average satisfaction with the lecture was 4.37 points (out of a 5-point scale). For the qualitative results, most clinical preceptors felt the DOPS was better in the assessment of overall performance, patient communication and interaction between teachers and students than the traditional skill assessment method. For negative viewpoints, about 88% of clinical preceptors thought that discrepancies in standard of evaluation would affect the clinical application outcomes. We also found that with the higher level of clinical ladder, the overall satisfaction and satisfaction with lecture also improved (p<0.05). The findings of this study can serve as references for nursing educators to implement the DOPS in future nursing clinical skills training programs to improve nursing skills competency and improve the quality of nursing services. |
