Relación entre precisión diagnóstica y actitud frente a los diagnósticos de enfermería en estudiantes de grado

Evaluation of an educational intervention (edworkcases) involving clinical cases and Nursing students: a cross-sectional observational study

“…Diagnosis “difficulty” is the lowest-scoring item on the scale, despite the noteworthy increase in the score for this item. This finding is in line with the results of studies carried out with nurses 24 and students 8 , 12 . This may be explained by the complexity of the diagnostic reasoning process 25 in which interpersonal, technical and intellectual processes interact 26 , and/or by the presence of limited training in Nursing diagnoses in Nursing education programmes 27 .…”

“…The mean overall scores obtained in the scale after the intervention were higher than those observed in other Nursing student populations 8 , 12 and indicate a favourable attitude towards Nursing diagnoses. Establishing positive attitudes towards these diagnoses among Nursing students is central to improving adherence in the real clinical practice, although it is insufficient to ensure diagnostic competency 12 , 23 . Diagnosis “difficulty” is the lowest-scoring item on the scale, despite the noteworthy increase in the score for this item.…”

“…Although one of the objectives of using a rubric is to minimise variability in the scores given by the professors for a particular task 20 , they do not always eliminate subjectivity, and differences owing to each teacher’s particular characteristics may persist 21 . Tools for evaluating the quality of the case studies produced, at least partially (such as Lunney’s Scale for Accuracy of Nursing Diagnoses) 12 , may have been usefully applied in this study to establish whether these differences in scores are primarily due to the quality of the case studies presented by the students and, therefore, to the academic heterogeneity of the groups assigned to each tutor, or to differences in application of the rubric.…”

“… The Positions on Nursing Diagnosis (PND) Scale. This scale allows students’ attitudes towards Nursing diagnoses to be measured and has been validated for use in the Spanish context with a Cronbach’s α of 0.96 12 - 13 . PND uses the semantic differential method 13 .…”

Evaluación de una intervención educativa (edworkcases) que involucra casos clínicos y estudiantes de Enfermería: estudio transversal y observacional

“…• La escala de Posicionamiento ante el Diagnóstico de Enfermería (PND). Esta escala permite medir las actitudes de los estudiantes con respecto a los diagnósticos de Enfermería y ha sido validad para su uso en el contexto español con α de Cronbach = 0,96 (12)(13) . La escala PND utiliza el método diferencial semántico (13) .…”
