Sistema de avaliação por competências: desempenho dos acadêmicos do curso de Enfermagem

Abstract

The Objective Structural Clinical Examination (OSCE - Structured Objective Clinical Examination) is a methodology for assessing clinical competences, which has been used worldwide since 1970 after being described by Harden, while in Brazil its use is more recent. However, studies evaluating its effectiveness and acceptability among students are still scarce. This research aimed to collaborate in the production of data that can support the efficiency of the model in question through the description and analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects. In order to achieve these results, the general objective was to investigate the nursing student's perception of the OSCE in the 9th semester in academic training and the teachers' view through a focus group. With a quantitative and qualitative approach, the evaluation describes statistically, using SPSS version 21.0, and in the focus group the data and analyzes were through the method recommended by Bardin, bipolarizing the subcategories in positive and negative aspects and sometimes neutral, with six most prevalent themes for the possibility of implementing the evaluation system. A semi-structured questionnaire was used, using the Linkert scale, answered by 24 students. The answers were categorized and frequented, in such a way that the main results were reached: With strongly disagree on average of 2.69%, disagree 10.36%, uncertain 10.41%, agree 46.43% and in the end strongly agree 33.75%. It is partially concluded that the OSCE can be used as an evaluation practice, and can contribute to the academic training and learning of undergraduate nursing students, with the possibility, therefore, of changes in the evaluation system.
