Factors influencing nursing student self-assessment in relation to instructor assessment
Salam Hadid
Zefat Academic College, Israel
Background:
Self-assessment in nursing education is a ubiquitous tool for developing independent learners and critical thinkers.
However self-assessment may be influenced by both demographic and perceptual factors, making it far more complex than students
or instructors realize.
Method:
A demographically heterogeneous group of nursing students (N=322) were asked to evaluate their performance of a standard
clinical procedure i.e., the insertion of a needle into a peripheral vein in an arm simulator and their assessments were compared with
those of an instructor.
Results:
Self-assessment is influenced by gender, age and faith. When student and instructor assessments were compared, a mismatch
was found for gender and faith. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between evaluation mismatch and self-efficacy.
Conclusion:
Results of self-assessment, commonly considered being an effective tool for teaching skills in general, and clinical work
in particular, may be skewed by both demographic and perceptual factors.
