Construction of a standardized training evaluation system for novice nurses based on mini clinical evaluation exercise

Objective To establish a standardized training evaluation system for novice nurses based on Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) for the development of the novice nurses. Methods The initial framework of the evaluation system based on Mini-CEX was established through literature review and topic group discussion. From March to April of 2018, by Delphi expert consultation, the weight of each indicators were determined through 2 rounds of expert consultation and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Results The effective recovery rate of questionnaires in two rounds were 100% and 98.33%. The expert authority coefficients (Cr) of the two experts were 0.86 and 0.88. A standardized training evaluation system for novice nurses based on Mini-CEX was established which includes 8 first-level dimensions and 66 subclauses. Conclusions The standardized training evaluation system for novice nurses based on Mini-CEX built through Delphi expert consultation is scientific and reliable, and can provide evidence for the evaluation method of standardized training for novice nurses in China.
