The present study was designed to determine the reliability and validity of OSCE in evaluating clinical skills of nursing students.\u003Cbr>Materials and methods: For this descriptive evaluative study, 10 different skills of nursing students were selected. Then, 37 students performed these skills at 10 different OSCE stations, during which two experienced inspectors evaluated their performance. Finally, the correlation between OSCE scores and the mean theoretical and clinical performance scores of students was calculated. Meanwhile, the correlation between the total OSCE scores whit OSCE score of each station was determined. Inspector’s reliability (correlation between scores reported by inspectors at each station) was also calculated. Results: The correlation coefficient of OSCE scores and mean theoretical and clinical performance scores were 0.38 (p=0.031) and 0.52 (p=0.005), respectively. Correlation coefficient of inspectors'reliability was in a range of 0.38-0.95.\u003Cbr>Conclusion: OSCE in strongly suggested as a reliable and valid means of evaluating nursing students’clinical skills.\u003Cbr>Key words: CLINICAL EVALUATION, OSCE, RELIABILITY, VALIDITY.\u003Cbr>Journal of Medical Education Summer 2009; 13(3); 79-85 |  |  |\n\nIntroduction  \nThe importance of clinical teaching as the most important part of nursing education has been recognized by all educational planners and educational program directors.

Therefore the necessity of using different evaluation methods for assessment of different aspects of nursing functions looks quite warranted. Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) as one of the best methods of assessment is capable of evaluating the achievement of the three domains of educational objectives: cognitive, attitude and psycho-motor. OSCE as a test for evaluation of clinical competence consists of a series of time-scheduled stations in which the examinees are required to carryout special clinical tasks at each station (1) . So that students demonstrate their competence in a variety of simulated conditions (2)  \nSince 1975 when OSCE was introduced by Harden(3) and was published in the medical Education Journal(4), many articles were written in medical journals about it’s application supporting the evidence of its use across Europe and north America (5,6); in Canada it became compulsory for their national state board examination (5).Within a few years OSCE became extensively used for the assessment of other health professionals such as chiropractors, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and physiotherapists(7) Teachers of Mac Master nursing school used it for assessment of nursing skills in third year nursing students in 1984 and it was for the first time that OSCE was used to assess nursing skills in Canada (8) it was also used in","cbCaijci2hEHM6yG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijci2hEHM6yG","pdf",37254,"English","# Introduction\n## Study background and rationale for OSCE\n# Materials and methods\n## Skills, participants, stations, and inspectors\n# Results\n## Correlations for OSCE scores and inspector reliability\n# Conclusion\n## OSCE as a reliable and valid evaluation method","[{\"question\":\"What was the aim of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To determine the reliability and validity of OSCE in evaluating clinical skills of nursing students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were OSCE skills and participants organized?\",\"answer\":\"Ten nursing skills were selected and performed by 37 students across 10 OSCE stations, with two experienced inspectors evaluating performance at the stations.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence supported validity and reliability in the results?\",\"answer\":\"Validity was supported by correlations between OSCE scores and mean theoretical and clinical performance scores.
