The Creation of a Concept Mapping Care Plan for Evaluating Students' Clinical Performance

Abstract

The study aims to use concept mapping as a teaching approach in the clinical setting. The concept mapping care plan (CMCP) was developed,  then validated using the Delphi technique. There were 218 respondents who participated in the survey. This study used pre and post-tests. The mean score of CMCP during clinical practices for the experimental group was 65.23 as compared with the control group which was 59.33. There were significant differences in the clinical performance of both groups. CMCP is a practical assessment tool for nursing educators to prepare nursing students to think critically and perform effectively after graduation.
