AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and assess a mobile-based Nursing Competency Evaluation (NCE) system, which uses multimedia to evaluate nursing students' skills beyond traditional memorization.
- Conducted in September 2021, sixty nursing students from a Seoul university participated in a randomized controlled trial, where one group used the multimedia NCE system while the control group used a text-only version.
- Results showed no significant difference in competency scores, but the experimental group reported higher effectiveness and learning satisfaction, with qualitative interviews highlighting positive experiences using the multimedia system.
Article Abstract
Aim: To develop a mobile-based multimedia Nursing Competency Evaluation (NCE) system based on the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction model and verify its effectiveness.
Background: In education, mobile devices can enable the delivery of learning content without time and spatial constraints. Mobile-based test is emerging as a novel method using technologies to appraise students' performance on practicum. This mobile-based test go beyond the simple evaluation of memorised knowledge, a limitation common to paper-based tests. They are useful because they can include multimedia items such as videos, animations and pictures to comprehensively evaluate students' clinical competencies.
Methods: This study was conducted in a nursing university in Seoul, South Korea in September 2021. A mixed method randomised controlled design was employed to evaluate its usability. The participants in the experimental group used the Nursing Competency Evaluation system and joined in focus group interviews for verifying the effects of the Nursing Competency Evaluation system qualitatively. Those in the control group responded to the mobile-based test, but which has only text-based test items. The system usability, effectiveness and learning satisfaction in both groups were measured after the mobile-based test experience. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using t-tests and thematic analysis using focus group interviews, respectively.
Results: Sixty nursing students participated, with 30 each in the experimental and control groups. There were no significant differences in nursing competency scores between the two groups. However, average scores for effectiveness and learning satisfaction were significantly higher in the experimental than in the control group. Nineteen experimental group participants partook in the interviews, with many describing that the Nursing Competency Evaluation system allowed them to experience new learning contents and efficiently learn practical nursing skills that can be useful in clinical settings.
Conclusions: The Nursing Competency Evaluation system is a promising method because it used mobile technologies and multimedia to appraise students' performance on nursing practicum. It was found that the Nursing Competency Evaluation system with multimedia items is more realistic, interactive and satisfactory compared with text-based mobile test. Thus, we expect it to be used in future nursing curriculums to improve students' nursing competencies.

Purpose: In the care for oesophageal cancer, symptom assessment was mainly carried out from the perspective of the total score using scales, which ignored individual differences in symptom experience among patients. To provide personalized symptom management, individual differences among patients with oesophageal cancer warranted further investigation. The objective was to identify the different symptom profiles of patients after oesophagectomy and examine the risk factors affecting the symptom profiles.

Background: Accurate assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is crucial for effective prevention and resource allocation. However, few CVD risk estimation tools consider social determinants of health (SDoH), despite their known impact on CVD risk. We aimed to estimate 10-year CVD risk in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network Cohort Study (ECS) across multiple risk estimation instruments and assess the association between SDoH and CVD risk.
