EVALUATION OF CLINICAL COMPETENCIES IN NURSING STUDENTS

Introduction: The new models aim to include self-evaluation as a method that allows students to know their progress and at the same time, reflect on their academic performance. The objective was to assess the level of compliance and the scope of the competences of the subject "Family Care, pregnant and newborn." Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted in 41 students. We designed a tool to assess 19 competences. Students said if they had achieved competencies and what was the level in a score from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score of achievement. The grades obtained in rotations were correlated. Results: The competency: Applies nursing process in well-being and risk situations along puerperium and family in parenting stage, was achieved in 100% and the level of compliance was 3,65 (0,44). The rotation high risk obstetric obtained a compliance level of 3,82 (95% CI: 3,63 to 4,01). We found no differences between rotations (p= 0,416) or in compliance levels (p= 0,3180). Spearman correlation between the level of compliance given by the student and the grades given by teachers was low in the practice of "delivery room" and very low in the practices of "high-risk obstetrics" and "postpartum" without statistical significance. Discussion: The results of this study become a first approximation of how students are seeing the achievement of skills and a way of feeding back the process of formation. Other studies also agree on the importance of student perspective on the scope of powers. Conclusions: Compliance competence in nursing process for the IV level is greater than 3,7.
