| Sumario: | Supplemental digital content is available in the text. Background: Time goals have not been tested as a component of nursing competence. Methods: Using a known-groups approach, a multisite study was performed on prelicensure nursing students (novices) and experienced nurses (experts) who participated in 2 simulations of patient deterioration with time goals. Video capture was achieved with an eye tracker. Results: While all novices did not achieve the time goals in both simulations, there was a significant improvement between the 2 simulations (P =.04). Experts were more successful in achieving the time-to-task goals in both simulations (44% and 95%, respectively). Statistical significance was found between the novice and expert groups in achieving the time goal for both simulations (P <.01). Conclusions: This study was able to differentiate the expert group as being more proficient in a timed assessment, although the novices showed improvement between 2 simulations. This illustrates an opportunity for skill development among novices in managing patient deterioration amenable to time as an objective assessment. |
