Subclaims¶

q2 i? The review found only one published assessment tool for intravenous cannulation, which reports good IRR with three clinical nursing staff but documents no correlation coefficient and no validity. → Morris Marie C. 2012

Evidence¶

Morris Marie C. 2012¶

Morris Marie C., Gallagher Tom K., Ridgway Paul F. (2012). Tools used to assess medical students competence in procedural skills at the end of a primary medical degree: a systematic review. Medical Education Online. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3427596/

q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of Engum's IV cannulation checklist, in which students performed real rather than simulated cannulation procedures, hence actual rather than simulated competence was assessed. The review notes "No correlation co-efficients were documented".

"Engum's (16) tool on assessing IV cannulation reports establishment of ‘good IRR with three clinical nursing staff'. No correlation co-efficients were documented. The validity of this checklist was also not reported."

• E-learning improves nurses' skills in continuing education, but effects are mixed, with worse defibrillation performance under long-distance learning and lower first-attempt cannulation success with computer-based simulation — related
