Due to the increased number of aging population and changing disease pattern, there are increases in demand for multidisciplinary care and quality care. Nurses are expected to perform their roles and functions within a complicated health care system. Also, considering nursing as a competence-based practice profession, nursing educators need to develop competence-based curriculum and objective evaluation of students' knowledge, psychomotor, and attitude, thereby enhancing students' clinical & theoretical competencies and fitness for practice. The purpose of this article was to describe the construction and evaluation of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in nursing education from an evidence-based perspective. This included the development and implication of OSCE, standardized examination construction, preparation of examinees, training of evaluator and standardized patient, analyses and interpretations of reliability, validity, difficulty, and discrimination of OSCE. In addition, the authors suggested developing related evaluation tools for the preparation of examinees, long and/or integrated station, OSCE management information system, and the appropriateness of station numbers to strengthen the OSCE efficacy in teaching and evaluation. This article provided nursing schools and medical institutions with essential information for planning and implementing OSCE from a standardized and evidence-based approach in the future. |
