Lectures
Clinical examination, decision making and implementation of nursing care
Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE)
The OSCE Examination Form was developed in England in the late 1970s, and is used today in medicine and health education in several countries. OSCE assesses the student's clinical competence (knowledge and skills), problem-solving ability and interactivity. The arrangement means that there are different stations with patient cases (case)
Students are assessed on the basis of an assessment form (checklist of criteria), the content of which varies depending on the patient case.
All criteria are evaluated as follows:
• 0 = Fail (asks/acts not)
• 1 = Sufficiently approved (asks/acts but not correct / direct according to directive)
• 2 = Competent (asks/acts correctly)

Ann-Louise Glasberg, Daniel Nenonen, Rika Levy-Malmberg
Each student is assessed on the basis of two clinical patient cases (case / station) at a time.
Time is limited to 30 minutes per student per station.
Students have 25 minutes to complete the three sections below.
Then the observer / examiner has 5 minutes to discuss the performance.
Students receive a brief description of the patient, as well as the instructions below.
• This is your first time meeting the patient.
• You have 25 minutes to go. Keep track of time! The observer then announces that it is 2 minutes left.
When the time is up, you must finish even if all parts are not completed.
• Information is provided by the "patient" or the observer during the examination, if asked / asked.

LITERATURE FOR THE QUANTITATIVE PART OF THE COURSE
The course is divided into three separate parts; qualitative methods (5 ECTS), quantitative methods (3 ECTS) and method seminar (2 ECTS). Qualitative methods, go as a digital course always in the autumn semester, and quantitative methods with lectures on campus in the spring.
________________________________________
QUALITATIVE METHODS:
The qualitative part of the course is entirely virtual and is available at Moodle.
The course at Moodle is divided into five modules:
Module 1: Introduction and a diagnostic test.
Module 2: Data collection. Individual/group working. In the group, you choose a data collection method in which you immerse yourself, do a small survey where you use the chosen method and present it to each other according to the instructions on Moodle. In addition, you give feedback to each other regarding the details according to the instructions on Moodle. It is optimal to have three people in the group.
Module 3: Data analysis. Individual assignment. A student chooses a theme and form a research question. They search for three scientific articles or use the same data as in Module 2 and choose a qualitative analysis method. Student answers their research question using a content analysis and presents the analysis process and findings.
Module 4: Ethics, data protection and validity. Home exam submitted via Moodle.
Module 5: Review of a degree thesis. Students choose a higher UAS degree thesis within their own profiling in Theseus (https://www.theseus.fi/). NOTE the programs are slightly different in different UAS. Students read and assess the thesis according to instructions and documents found on Moodle.
