Research Of The System For The Evaluation Of Higher Nursing Vocational Graduates' Quality

ObjectiveThe purpose of the research is to construct the Indicators System for the Evaluation of Higher Vocational Nursing Graduates' Quality and to design《Forms of evaluation of Higher Nursing Vocational Graduates' Quality》,which could provide the criteria for the evaluation and make the basis for reforming the work of Higher Nursing Vocational education.MethodsBased on literatures reviewing and theoretical analysis,First the study probe into the base and principles of building up the indicators system for the evaluation of higher nursing vocational graduates' quality,then draft tentatively the basic framework of the indicators system on the base of analyzing higher nursing vocational graduates' quality element,contents,etc.Appling for Delphi method to consult experts on indictors items,weights and to analyze the reliability of the experts'ideas.After the three rounds of consultation,the indicators system is set up and relative form is developed according to the criteria.The objects of investigation are 345 higher nursing vocational graduates from five hospitals.The validity and reliability of the evaluation results are examined.All quantitative data of the questionnaire survey was analyzed by SPSS12.0.The reliability and the validity of the form is tested.The reliability analysis included Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability.The validity analysis included content,construct validity. ResultsThe results of this study are as follows:1.having constructed a indicators system for the evaluation of higher vocational nursing graduates' quality,which composed of 3first class indicators,10 second ones and33 third ones.2.Reliability of the Expert ConsultationThe enthusiasm coefficient of specialists were 86%～95%;The degree of specialist authority were 0.823.The coordination coefficient of the specialists'opinion were 0.439,0.914,0.974 respectively.3.Reliability of the formWe tested the internal consistency including Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability.Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the overall form was 0.9444,while the three dimensions were 0.8365～0.9231;The test-retest reliability coefficient of the whole form was 0.878.We concluded that the internal consistency reliability was satisfying.4.Validity of the formAccording to experts'subjective evaluation,we concluded the content validity of the form is satisfying.In the study,the factor analysis was employed.With the method of principle components,three factors were extracted according to the structure of the form.The cumulative variance of the three factors was 49.514%,Loading for each factor was greater than 0.3,indicating that the structure of the form was matching with the theoretical constructions.Conclusions1.A indicators system for the evaluation of higher vocational nursing graduates' quality has been constructed,which composed of three first class indicators,ten second ones and 33third ones.2.《Forms of evaluation of Nursing Vocational Graduates' Quality》has been developed.The form showed excellent reliability and validity and was an appropriate measure instrument that can be used to evaluating the quality of higher nursing vocational graduates.
