Nursing Performance: A Self-Performance Appraisal Analysis Among the Third Year Student Nurses at Far Eastern University Manila, A.Y. 2023-2024

This study analyzes the self-performance appraisal of the third year nursing students of the Far Eastern University to determine their level of competency and enable them to improve their overall productivity in the field. It establishes the perspective of the students on the importance of the required competencies in enabling an effective nursing performance, as well as discover the long-term implications of these expertise in the quality of care offered to patients. A quantitative approach and a descriptive design was utilized in this study, and data gathering was accomplished through Google Forms by implementing a convenience sampling method with a goal of 50 third year nursing students as respondents. This study adapted Schwirian's (1978) Six Dimensional Scale of Nursing Performance questionnaire. Results from the five chosen subscales all fall under the “frequently” domain, which suggests that despite the mean value of the results gathered, the respondents are able to perform proficiently in their tasks, given that they are still nurses in training. The researchers recommend that it is best that nursing schools focus on actively engaging in individual performance appraisal by prioritizing self-assessment enrichment alongside traditional student performance evaluations.
