Thesis (MTech (Emergency Medical Care))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. / Background - As emergency medical care students approach the exit level
of their four-year qualification, additional focus get placed on assessment of
their ability provide patient care in the real world pre-hospital emergency care
environment. Upon graduation, there is no opportunity for newly graduated
emergency care practitioners to complete an internship programme. The
assessment of clinical competence is therefore regarded as a critically
important and invaluable activity within the academic unit. Academic staff
within the Emergency Medical Care department at UJ recognised the need for
the development of a standardised assessment instrument to purposefully
assess pre-hospital clinical performance and developed an assessment
instrument referred to as the University of Johannesburg Clinical Performance
Assessment Instrument (UJ CPAI). Having developed the UJ CPAI it became
necessary and important to scientifically investigate and evaluate the extent
to which the CPAI (as a newly developed instrument) meets the requirements
of what is considered to be a "good assessment instrument". For this reason
investigation of the validity, reliability and end-user support for the
implementation of the UJ CPAI became the central aim and focus of this
study.
