Highlights:
(1) Valid and reliable 20-item questions on the nursing scoring system.
(2) A high proportion of the examiners (lecturers) provided positive feedback on the online OSCE.
(3) Nursing education institutions may adopt the On-OSCE scoring system to improve scoring.
(4) The utilization of On-OSCE can save time, objective, and simplify the scoring process.
(5) The On-OSCE scoring system is highly recommended for worldwide implementation.
the paper-based OSCE (Pa-OSCE) scoring system has several drawbacks, including significant paper waste and being time-consuming. This study aims to assess examiner satisfaction with the On-OSCE scoring management system, identify and weigh the potential benefits of the innovation, and promote its use.
Methodusing a cross-sectional study design, we developed satisfaction inventory consisting of four domains: time-saving, user-friendliness, prospective application, and objectivity. This inventory was used to compare satisfaction scores between two examiner groups (a total of 67 subjects).
Resultsthe 20-item satisfaction inventory demonstrated high validity and reliability (0.98 and 0.97, respectively). The average scoring time was significantly shorter in the online scoring management system group (p<0.001). Both the total satisfaction score and the scores for each domain were significantly higher in the online scoring management system group compared to the paper-based scoring management system group (p<0.001).
Conclusiona high proportion of the examiners provided positive feedback on the online scoring management system. The online scoring management system saves the time to score, and is more objective, easier to use, and is recommended for implementation. Online scoring management systems can be implemented in nursing education institutions globally to improve scoring efficiency. Additionally, the 20-item satisfaction inventory can serve as a benchmarking tool to assess educators worldwide.
