Abstract

We have developed a written examination for newly graduated nurses to assess whether they have the basic knowledge required for novice nurses in intensive care units (ICUs). The purpose of this study was to inspect the characteristics of each item of the evaluation test at the tentative plan phase. This study developed the evaluation test on the basis of a previous study. Data were collected by a pilot study of 113 third-year and 48 first-year students at nursingdiploma schools. It was then carried out by linkable anonymity, before and after the national licensing examination for nurses. In this study, as a result of item analysis on the basis of a classic test theory, there were 54 fit items by investigation before the national licensing examination for nurses, and 74 fit items by investigation after the national licensing examination for nurses. Of these, the items that were in accord before and after the national licensing examination for nurses, were 52 items of fitness, 3 items of reliefand 1 item of revision. Of these items in accord, the items whose difficulty showed more than 0.85 were contents which were basic and important for ICU nursing. Similarly, items whose item difficulty showed less than 0.25 were important contents about the nursing care of patients requiring respirator control and postoperative patients in ICU nursing. Those items were regarded as candidates for modification/ deletion, but required consideration of content validity as well as statistical characteristic items.
