Résumé

Background Educational and health care organizations who prepare meta-assessors to fulfill their role in the assessment of trainees' performance based on reported observations have little literature to rely on. While the assessment of trainees' performance based on reported observations has been operationalized, we have yet to understand the elements that can affect its quality fully. Closing this gap in the literature will provide valuable insight that could inform the implementation and quality monitoring of the assessment of trainees' performance based on reported observations.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the elements to consider in the assessment of trainees' performance based on reported observations from the perspectives of meta-assessors.

Methods Design, Settings, Participants, data collection and analysis. The authors adopted Sandelowski's qualitative descriptive approach to interview nurse meta-assessors from two nursing programs. A semi-structured interview guide was used to document the elements to consider in the assessment of nursing trainees' performance based on reported observations, and a survey was used to collect sociodemographic data. The authors conducted a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts.

Results Thirteen meta-assessors participated in the study. Three core themes were identified: (1) meta-assessors' appropriation of their perceived assessment roles and activities, (2) team climate of information sharing, and (3) challenges associated with the assessment of trainees' performance based on reported observations. Each theme is comprised of several sub themes.

Conclusions To optimize the quality of the assessment of the trainee's performance based on reported observations and ratings, HPE programs might consider how to clarify better the meta-assessor's roles and activities, as well as how interventions could be created to promote a climate of information sharing and to address the challenges identified. This work will guide educational and health care organizations for better preparation and support for meta-assessors and preceptors.
