The relationship between feedback and evaluative judgement in undergraduate nursing and midwifery education: An integrative review

AimThis integrative review aims to explore the relationship between feedback and evaluative judgement in undergraduate nursing and midwifery education.BackgroundResearch in higher education has shown that feedback practices can lead to students’ developing evaluative judgement; thought critical for performance improvement and life-long learning. While literature in nursing and midwifery education has not yet employed the term ‘evaluative judgement’ explicitly, there might be similar concepts and practices that seek to develop students’ judgement of performance that sustain learning beyond the immediate task.DesignAn integrative review of the nursing and midwifery feedback literature.MethodsIn February 2020, six online databases (CINAHL, ProQuest, Scopus, ERIC, PsycINFO, Ovid MEDLINE) were systematically searched for literature published between January 1989-February 2020. Synonyms for feedback and evaluative judgement were used to inform our search. This review included a rigorous team-based, five-stage approach: (1) identifying the problem; (2) conducting the search; (3) evaluating the data; (4) analysing the data; and (5) presenting the integrative review.ResultsA total of 1408 studies were initially retrieved with 543 duplicates. 865 abstracts were screened using eligibility criteria, resulting in the exclusion of 835 studies. Thirty full-text studies were appraised for quality. Eighteen studies with diverse methodologies achieved a medium-high quality score for inclusion in data analysis. Conceptions of feedback and evaluative judgement were identified in all studies; despite none using the term 'evaluative judgement' explicitly. Thematic analysis of the studies resulted in seven themes: conceptions of feedback, purposes of feedback, sources of feedback, modes of feedback, conceptions of evaluative judgement, purposes of evaluative judgement and relationships between feedback and evaluative judgement.ConclusionsWhile our findings supported contemporary higher education research, the feedback-evaluative judgement relationship is novel in nursing education. We encourage educators to design feedback activities privileging students’ active engagement through dialogic feedback, reflection and self-assessment, to develop their evaluative judgement of practice.

Is present pharmacy education adapted to needs? Survey results from young practitioner views regarding pharmacy education outcome towards a national reform in Hungary

BackgroundThe pharmacist career is constantly adapting to societal and health care needs. The past decade has seen a growing demand for curricular development to align graduation outcome with workforce competencies.ObjectiveThis study aims to identify expectations for both didactic and experiential components of a new curriculum based on young pharmacist practitioner views.MethodsAn online survey questionnaire was used in 2019–2020 to evaluate the pharmacy curriculum to detect indicators or key areas which require comprehensive reform.ResultsThe predominant majority of the 205 study participants recommended reduction in credit hours for Natural Sciences (78.54%) and a similar increase in the Theoretical and Practical Expertise Module (77.9%). Pharmaceutical care, clinical therapeutics and clinical pharmacy competencies should also be more highlighted in the program. Findings indicate the current training does not prepare for problem-solving and daily workplace challenges (72.7%) or for extended pharmacist skills and competencies (71.71%). Results show inconsistency in practical training experience, as all respondents participated in practical training for drug manufacturing and analysis but 61.0% reported no hands-on skills training in a hospital-clinical simulation setting. Indications for practitioner involvement into the natural sciences and biomedical subjects (86.3%) confirm the obvious need for more practice-oriented education.ConclusionsEducational reforms seem to be inevitable to achieve measurable improvement in professional practice and skills competency. The country specific demand for a needs-based pharmacy education reflects global trends but may also provide useful insights for individual transitions to transform education through practice and improve practice through education.     

Priorities for content for a short-course on postoperative care relevant for low- and middle-income countries: an e-Delphi process with training facilitators

Most surgical and anaesthetic mortality and morbidity occurs postoperatively, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Various short courses have been developed to improve patient outcomes in low- and middle-income countries, but none specifically to address postoperative care and complications. We aimed to identify key features of a proposed short-course addressing this topic using a Delphi process with low- and middle-income country anaesthesia providers trained as short-course facilitators. An initial questionnaire was co-developed from literature review and exploratory workshops to include 108 potential course features. Features included content; teaching method; appropriate participants; and appropriate faculty. Over three Delphi rounds (panellists numbered 86, 64 and 35 in successive cycles), panellists indicated which features they considered most important. Responses were analysed by geographical regions: Africa, the Americas, south-east Asia and Western Pacific. Ultimately, panellists identified 60, 40 and 54 core features for the proposed course in each region, respectively. There were high levels of consensus within regions on what constituted core course content, but not between regions. All panellists preferred the small group workshop teaching method irrespective of region. All regions considered anaesthetists to be key facilitators, while all agreed that both anaesthetists and operating theatre nurses were key participants. The African and Americas regional panels recommended more multidisciplinary healthcare professionals for participant roles. Faculty from high-income countries were not considered high priority. Our study highlights variability between geographical regions as to which course features were perceived as most locally relevant, supporting regional adaptation of short-course design rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
