目的采用结构化临床考试（OSCE）作为评估助产专业学生临床技能的一种手段。OSCE的目的是提供一个标准化的方法，用于在模拟环境中评估临床技能表现。本文介绍了如何利用内部和外部专家审查的质量改进举措，以提高欧安组织的评估评分标准。质量倡议的目的是审查评估业绩的评分标准的内容和表面有效性。用于对学生成绩进行评分的工具的设计和选择是信度和效度的核心。提供了20个关于助产士预登记方案一年级学生进行欧安组织腹部检查评估的视频和18个关于学生应对产科急诊（如PPH和肩难产）的视频供审查。质量倡议旨在加强欧安组织在评估学生成绩方面的可靠性和有效性。总结：使用全球评级表可以捕捉到技能业绩核对表具体标准中没有出现的专业能力要素。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE's) have been adopted as a means of assessing midwifery students' clinical skills. The purpose of the OSCE is to provide a standardised method for the evaluation of clinical skill performance in a simulated environment. This paper describes how a quality improvement initiative using both internal and external expert review was utilised to improve OSCE assessment marking criteria. The purpose of the quality initiative was to review the content and face validity of the marking criteria for assessing performance. The design and choice of tools used to score students' performance is central to reliability and validity. 20 videos of students from year one of a midwifery preregistration programme undertaking an OSCE assessment on abdominal examination and 18 videos of students response to obstetric emergencies e.g. PPH, and shoulder dystocia were available for review. The quality initiative aimed to strengthen the reliability and validity of the OSCE in assessing student performance. Conclusion: the use of global rating scales allows for the capturing of elements of professional competency that do not appear on specific criteria for skills performance checklists.
