| Résumé : | Background Worldwide, undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing students are required to complete experiential learning placements in health care settings as part of the curriculum. There are a variety of facilitation models that support student learning and assessment on clinical placement. As workforce pressures increase globally, innovative approaches to clinical facilitation are required. In the Collaborative Clusters Education Model of clinical facilitation, hospital-employed clinical facilitators work collaboratively within peer groups (clusters) to collectively participate in a process of facilitating student learning and conducting assessment and moderation of student performance. The assessment process in this collaborative clinical facilitation model is not well described. Aim To describe how the assessment of undergraduate nursing students is achieved in the Collaborative Clusters Education Model. Design A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Methods In March 2021 individual and group interviews were conducted with seven clinical facilitators working in the Collaborative Clusters Education Model in one health service in southeast Queensland, Australia. Content analysis of transcribed interviews was performed. Results Assessment was achieved through two processes, situational scoring and moderation. In the process of situational scoring, clinical facilitators balanced the students? perception of their role in assessment, accounted for the type of experiences available, considered multiple sources of evidence and used the Australian Nursing Standards Assessment Tool. In the process of moderation, clinical facilitators communicated with their cluster colleagues to determine a shared understanding of student history, considered data from multiple evidence sources and collaboratively evaluated the trustworthiness of student performance evaluation decisions. Conclusions In the Collaborative Clusters Education Model, the input of multiple assessors, working in a small team, ensured transparency in assessment processes. Furthermore, this transparency in assessment practices normalised on-going moderation, an in-built quality-check and, as such, an innovative component of assessment in the Collaborative Clusters Education Model. As nursing directors and managers seek to ameliorate the impact of nursing workforce pressures, this innovative model of collaborative assessment may serve as a valuable addition to nursing clinical assessment toolkits. Tweetable abstract The Collaborative Clusters Education Model of Clinical Facilitation enables transparency in assessment processes and normalises moderation. |
