Abstract
A competent nursing graduate is required to perform psychomotor skills related to clinical procedures, articulate knowledge to support their activities, work in a team with efficient time management skills and have strategies to perform in the increasingly busy clinical environment and with complex patient acuity. Student Evaluation of Teaching data froman undergraduate nursing clinical subject 2014-2018 identified an inconsistency in clinical skill teaching/delivery by educators which needed to be addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of implementing the Clinical Skill Storybook as an additional teaching resource for students’ clinical skill development. A descriptive analysis approach was applied to summarise quantitative and qualitative subject evaluation data along with Clinical Skill Storybook evaluation questionnaires (2018- 2020). Data analysis identified five themes: (1) Clinical Skill Storybook as a Learning Resource, (2) Selfdirected learning and peer support, (3) Developing clinical skill competency, (4) Preparation for clinical placement, and (5) Maintaining teaching consistency. The subject evaluation highlights that student were significantly more satisfied with the teaching resources than in previous years. The implementation of the Clinical Skill Storybook actively improved students’ skill acquisition, confidence, and readiness for placement. The findings indicate that the Clinical Skill Storybook is beneficial for nursing students’ clinical skill development, subsequently beneficial to institutions due to improved students’ performance and satisfaction. Further involvement with stakeholders such as clinical venues in developing the clinical skill storybook is planned for future exploration.
