Aim: The aim of the study is to measure 3rd year students’ ability on decision making before and after the internship, where different educational strategies were experienced evaluating self perceived clients satisfaction. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study 14 students of the 3rd year was asked to elaborate six clinical cases, for a total of 84 health care plans both before and after the clinical internship. During the internship discussions led by tutors, briefing and debriefing sessions once a week were set up and health care plans developed by students were used. The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales questionnaire was used to detect clients satisfaction administered both during the internship and later on. Results: Students have shown an increase from 19 to 69% (p <0.00001) in the ability to detect priority health care problems in the post-test as well as in developing correct nursing interventions, from 24 to 33% (p <0.019).Related factors and defining characteristics are improved at the limit of statistical significance. Clients claim they were fully satisfied with received care both with nursing students and without. Conclusions: Experimented educational strategies seems to be significantly related to the ability of nursing intervention/decision making. The internship has proven to be an effective model of education.

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to measure 3rd year students’ ability on decision making before and after the internship, where different educational strategies were experienced evaluating self perceived clients satisfaction. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study 14 students of the 3rd year was asked to elaborate six clinical cases, for a total of 84 health care plans both before and after the clinical internship. During the internship discussions led by tutors, briefing and debriefing sessions once a week were set up and health care plans developed by students were used. The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales questionnaire was used to detect clients satisfaction administered both during the internship and later on. Results: Students have shown an increase from 19 to 69% (p <0.00001) in the ability to detect priority health care problems in the post-test as well as in developing correct nursing interventions, from 24 to 33% (p <0.019).Related factors and defining characteristics are improved at the limit of statistical significance. Clients claim they were fully satisfied with received care both with nursing students and without. Conclusions: Experimented educational strategies seems to be significantly related to the ability of nursing intervention/decision making. The internship has proven to be an effective model of education.
