OBJECTIVE: as a health care profession focused on caring for people, Nursing requires sound communication skills. Based on an international expert consensus, a proposal on learning outcomes in clinical communication for undergraduate Nursing education curricula in Spanish speaking countries is presented. METHOD: a steering committee, consisting of 5 nurses and experts in communication in health care sciences, drew up the first list of communication skills specific to the Nursing degree. Their proposal was reviewed and improved by a committee of 7 international scientific advisers. 70 experts from 14 countries were selected using a snowball sampling procedure and invited to participate in a distance modified Delphi consensus process in two survey rounds. Statistical analysis was carried out to establish the final consensus level for each item. RESULTS: a questionnaire with 68 learning outcomes in clinical communications was submitted for panel assessment. In the first Delphi round, the panel reached a statistical consensus on all the items assessed. There was no need for a second round to reconcile positions. CONCLUSION: an academic proposal, approved by a high level of international consensus, is presented to guide and unify the learning outcomes on the clinical communication curriculum for undergraduate Nursing studies in Spanish speaking countries.

Fiabilidad de una escala para la evaluación de competencias enfermeras: estudio de concordancia / Reliability of a scale for the evaluation of nurses competence: Concordance study

INTRODUCCIÓN: Evaluar las competencias es una cuestión de importancia que ocupa un lugar primordial en el contexto de la educación superior. Para ello, es necesario disponer de instrumentos que reúnan criterios de validez y fiabilidad, y que puedan ser utilizados en escenarios de desempeño, capacidad y actuación profesional. Por esta razón, nos planteamos el siguiente objetivo: determinar la concordancia intra e interobservador de una escala para la evaluación de competencias enfermeras (ECOEnf) en España. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal para evaluar la fiabilidad mediante el análisis de concordancia intra e interobservadores de la escala «ECOEnf». Se utilizó la prueba no paramétrica Tau-b de Kendall para establecer la correlación, aplicada a la misma población, en el mismo tiempo, por 2observadores diferentes. RESULTADO: La concordancia intraobservador se obtuvo una excelente consistencia interna (r = 0,98). Respecto a la concordancia entre observadores se mostraron escasos ítems con una correlación menor de 0,5; sin embargo, todos los ítems cumplen con una buena fiabilidad, estadísticamente significativa, p valor < 0,05. CONCLUSIÓN: En general, al realizar la correlación entre los resultados de la herramienta medido 2veces por diferentes observadores en el mismo momento se encontró estadísticamente una buena concordancia, por lo cual se considera un instrumento fiable para ser utilizado en la evaluación de las competencias enfermeras en España

INTRODUCTION: Competences assessment is an important issue, playing a key role in higher education. It is necessary to have an evaluation instrument that meet validity and reliability criteria and can be used in different clinical scenarios for professional performance measurement. For this reason, we set ourselves the following objective: Establishing the intra- and inter-observer concordance of a scale for the evaluation of nursing competencies (ECOEnf) in Spain. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the reliability of the "ECOEnf" scale using intra- and inter-observer analysis. Kendall's Tau-b non-parametric test was used for establishing correlation, applied to the same population, at the same time, by 2different observers. RESULTS: Intra-observer concordance was obtained an excellent degree of internal consistency (r=0.98), Regarding inter-observer concordance, few items had a correlation lower than 0.5. However, all items display a sound statistically significant reliability with a p-value <0.05. CONCLUSION: In general, when establishing the correlation between the results of the instrument measured twice by different observers at the same time, was found a statistically good concordance. For this reason, it is regarded as a reliable instrument to be used in the evaluation of nursing competencies
