ABSTRACT

Introduction: the assessment of clinical skills in the area of health has changed over time; systems have emerged including the objective structured clinical examination that assesses competencies in clinical practice is located. It was identified that students arrive devoid of some cognitive skills necessary to face this kind of evaluation. The need arises with a computer interactive examination that exposes students to simulated clinical situations that require pre- confrontation of the real situation of cognitive abilities assessment, called "computational objective structured clinical examination interactive".
Objective: to compare the effectiveness of interactive computer objective structured clinical examination and objective structured clinical examination for the basic traditional learning and assessment of clinical nursing techniques.
Methods: observational, transverse quasiexperimiental, 95 nursing students from 2nd year were randomized into two groups, control group "OSCE" and group intervention "traditional OSCE ic".
Results: there are significant difference of mean performance expressed note between the OSCE ic and the OSCE traditional, so there is learning, progress in the performance of clinical skills in students and improves performance.
Conclusions: the effectiveness and efficiency of the devised evaluative instrument have been proved, so it could be applied across the different levels of the nursing studies to assess the initial and/or final clinical skills and to encourage self-learning.
