Oncology Knowledge Inventory for undergraduate students.
A Knowledge Inventory was developed and used to measure undergraduate students' knowledge level of oncology nursing. Initial items were written by clinical experts, and content was validated by faculty. Pretesting of test items resulted in a final scale of 30 items. To further test items for difficulty and discrimination, students were asked to complete the Knowledge Inventory each semester of the program over a period of three semesters. Results indicated that the scale provides a short, general measure of oncology knowledge that differentiates student knowledge levels and experience.
