20.500.12556/DKUM-65408 Employability of nursing care graduates Zaposljivost diplomantov zdravstvene nege Starting points: In Slovenia, the higher education institution for nursing started exploring employability opportunities in nursing care in connection with the achievement of competencies from students and employers point of view. This article highlights the importance of monitoring nursing graduates employability. Its aim is to examine the employability of nursing care graduates based on the self-evaluation of competences obtained during the last study year and to establish a link between the self-evaluation of competences and students academic performance. Methodology: A questionnaire was distributed to full and part time nursing care students attending the last study year at five different healthcare/health sciences faculties in Slovenia and to employers (healthcare institutions) where the majority of nursing care graduates finds employment. We examined the level of competence achieved by nursing students and the level of competences required by employers. The sample included a total of 485 students. 194 surveys were returned, which represent a 40 percent response. We used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for each individual joined competence. Further, we compared employability skills of students and employers with Mann-Whitney and Wilcox rank-sum test. For correlation between two variables we used Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The Mann-Whitney and Wilkson Rank test show that employers generally assess competences with a higher average grade in comparison to students and these differences are statistically significant. By applying the Spearman correlation analysis, we established that a statistically significant weak correlation may be observed between the "average grade" and "competences" variables. Discussion and conclusion: Our findings show that a continuous monitoring of general and subject-specific competences gained by students, along with a periodic verification of competences demanded by employers, is necessary. It is very important to monitor the requirements of the labour market in terms of ongoing communication with employers who can best estimate special knowledge needs. Ozadje: Visokošolske inštitucije se srečujejo s problemom spremljanja zaposljivosti dipomantov zdravstvene nege in vzpostavitvijo izbranih mehanizmov, ki bi jim omogočili prehod iz izobraževalnega v delovno okolje. Namen članka je prikazati zaposljivost diplomantov zdravstvene nege s pomočjo samoocene njihovih kompetenc v zadnjem študijskem letu in ugotoviti povezanost med oceno kompetenc delodajalcev, samooceno kompetenc študentov in uspešnostjo pri študiju. Metode: Anketni vprašalnik je bil razdeljen med študente zadnjega letnika zdravstvene nege rednega in izrednega študija. Raziskava je bila izvedena na petih fakultetah za zdravstvo in zdravstvene nege v Sloveniji in med delodajalci (zdravstvene inštitucije), ki zaposlujejo diplomante zdravstvene nege. Raziskovali smo kompetence, ki si jih študentje pridobijo med študijem in kompetence, za katere delodajalci pričakujejo, da jih bodo diplomanti zdravstvene nege ob končanem študiju imeli. V vzorec je bilo vključenih 485 študentov. 194 pravilno izpolnjenih anketnih vprašalnikov je bilo vrnjenih, kar predstavlja 40 % odzivnost. Za združevanje kompetenc smo uporabili Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. S pomočjo Mann-Whitneyjevega in Wilkinsonovega rang testa smo ugotavljali statistično pomembne razlike med posameznimi spremenljivkami. Za ugotavljanje povezanosti dveh spremenljivk smo uporabili Spearmanov koeficient korelacije. Rezultati: Mann-Whitney in Wilkinsonov rang test sta pokazala, da delodajalci v povprečju višje ocenjujejo dejanske in zahtevane kompetence kot študenti zdravstvene nege, pri čemer so razlike statistično pomembne. S pomočjo Spearmanovega koeficienta korelacije je bilo ugotovljeno, da obstaja med spremeljivkama “povprečna ocena” in “kompetence” šibka povezanost, ki je statistično značilna. Zaključek: Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je nujno stalno spremljanje splošnih in specifičnih kompetenc študentov skupaj s periodičnim preverjanjem zahtevanih kompetenc s strani delodajalcev. Potrebno je spremljanje zahtev trga dela v smislu stalnega povezovanja z delodajalci, ki lahko posredujejo potrebe po specifičnem znanju. employability nursing care graduates competences labour market zaposljivost diplomanti zdravstvene nege kompetence trg dela true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2017-04-04 08:33:37 2017-04-04 08:34:38 2022-07-08 03:08:04 2019-07-11 15:17:15 2015 0 0 str. 287-298 št. 4 Letn. 48 nov. 2015 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1318-5454 005.951:378(047.1) 610909 2174884 10.1515/orga-2015-0023 1318-5454 URN:SI:UM:DK:RLJLSZBZ Organizacija_2015_Donik,_Pajnkihar,_Bernik_Employability_of_Nursing_Care_Graduates.pdf Organizacija_2015_Donik,_Pajnkihar,_Bernik_Employability_of_Nursing_Care_Graduates.pdf 1 E281BAC0175EEE11B4E6565B43958D00 576f19d5ac737311fbcd0f4fd1740ac02953417d6871b2fccd0c9dece917a5f3 0f388966-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=110563 http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/orga.2015.48.issue-4/orga-2015-0023/orga-2015-0023.xml 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=110562 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede Organizacija 0 0 0
