The Relationship between Transition of Students' Egogram and Evaluation of Nursing Practice

Abstract

　This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the scores obtained on Egogram and grades given to nursing students for the sophomore clinical practice in surgical nursing. #Ninety seven nursing students in the sophomore class were given the Egogram before their surgical nursing experience.#Results were classified into the profiles, CP, NP, A, FC, and AC. #Resetting was done when the students became seniors which was after they had completed their surgical nursing experience. #A transition pattern was deter mined using the change of score from the sophomore to the senior year. #Each student's grades for clinical practice in surgical nursing were then obtained.

　A correlation between the Egogram transition pattern and the surgical grades was done with the following results.

　1) There was a transition pattern(N) in the change of score from the sophomore to the senior testing.

　2) #In the group with a superior FC profile during the sophomore year, #grades for slicing practice in surgical nursing were lower than those grades of students without superior FC profiles in the sophomore year. When the students with a superior FC profile during the sophomore year were promoted to the senior class,#there was no obvious change in the FC profile.

　3) The students who had grades of less than 80 points for clinical practice in surgical nursing showed a superior AC profile in the senior year. #However, their scores on the A and FC profiles were low. #These results suggest that teaching staff need to advise the students that they could improve their ego state.
