الوصف: | Abstract Background Although there is an increasing amount of research on the use of structured behavioural assessment instruments for non-technical skills in a simulation or clinical setting, there is currently little research into how healthcare professionals experience using these instruments. The structured behavioural assessment instrument, Nurse Anaesthetists’ Non-Technical Skills-Norway, has recently been introduced to nurse anaesthesia education as a means of developing and assessing non-technical skills in clinical practice. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the experiences of Norwegian student nurse anaesthetists, their mentors and clinical supervisors on using the instrument in clinical practice. Methods This study has a qualitative descriptive design. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with four focus groups comprising twelve student nurse anaesthetists and thirteen mentors and clinical supervisors. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis and an inductive approach. Results Six categories were identified that represented the manifest content. One main theme: Forging a path towards clinical excellence was identified representing the latent content, and three themes that described the participants’ experiences with using the instrument: Promotion of excellent non-technical skills: Raising awareness of non-technical skills ensured professional suitability and shaping of a professional identity; internalizing the skills could lead to changes in behaviour. Promotion of cooperative learning: Mentoring was more structured, based on a common language and understanding and clearly defined roles; measurable progress enabled a more reliable and objective evaluation. Promotion of organizational acceptance: A lack of familiarity with the instrument, and challenges with scoring and the terminology impeded acceptance. Conclusion Increased awareness of non-technical skills when using Nurse Anaesthetists’ Non-Technical Skills-Norway contributes to a professionalization of the nurse anaesthetist role and mentoring/learning process in nurse anaesthesia education. Using Nurse Anaesthetists’ Non-Technical Skills-Norway promotes the ideal of clinical excellence, not only as an assessment instrument but also by guiding the student’s learning process. Despite a high level of commitment to using the instrument there is a need to promote further acceptance in the anaesthetic departments. |
