Validity according to (Cozby, P.C. 2001) definition: It is the extent to which an assessment accurately measures what it is intended to measure. Stephen 's hand hygiene practice according to Mary 's assessment and observations are valid. Even though the assessment was done informally it is valid as it gives an accurate result of what he is expected to do when assessed formally. Mary can predict from her observations, that his future performance will be of the same standard. According to (Who 2010), Hand washing should become an educational priority. Stephen 's understanding of the relevant theory was witnessed by his assessor Mary on more than one occasion.

B, Mary needs to explain to Stephen, that she did not remember ever seeing him using hand gel, for his second part of his placement, she should assess his theoretical knowledge of using alcohol gel and ask him to demonstrate it, or if there is any reason why he is not using the gel. Some people are allergic to the chemicals in the gel. according to (WHO 2009) No product, however, is free of potential risk. Hence, it is necessary to provide an alternative for use by individuals with sensitivity or reactions to the hand hygiene product available in the institution.
C, Mary will need to plan her assessment time in advance and inform her student to observe the skill herself and give him feedback which is relevant, informative and fit for purpose.
This is a reflection on a positive feedback given to a student. The purpose of giving feedback according to (John Hattie and Helen Timperley 2007) is to provide evidence about performance and it is a powerful influence on learning and achievement. The impact can either be positive or negative feedback information provided regarding aspects of one 's performance or understanding. For me the purpose of feedback at that time was, I was supervising a student doing a clinical skill. she did well from start to finish with confidence and she was competent in her skill. After she finished doing the task under my supervision, I gave her a positive and constructive
Content validity is achieved when the content of the assessment matches the educational objectives. Criterion validity is demonstrated by the ability of the test to relate to external requirements. Construct validity takes into account the educational variables, such as the native language of the students, to predict the test outcomes. Reliable assessments have consistent results; Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. A test is considered reliable if we get the same result repeatedly.
C. To plan the assessment of occupational competence to address learner needs and current achievements.
In my point of view feedback is an essential tool for learners’ progress. If the student is not assessing their work then they are not learning and given feedback are vital to ensure best practice is maintained and the learners are achieving to their full potential.
All feedback needs to be concerned and supportive; it needs to include both negative and positive feedback. Positive can help us feel good about our self and positive about our skills that have been observed. However to develop further we need negative feedback to make improvements and grow as individuals, and
Hand washing is the topic for Community Teaching Plan. Hand washing means to wash hands with water and soap, but sometimes without soap to remove the dirt, soil and microorganisms from the hand. Author explains the importance of handwashing, indications proper technique of handwashing. This also covers how handwashing helps in control of disease and infection.
2.2 Describe how to make an individual aware of the effects of poor hygiene on others
It discussed comments or gushing offered by teachers to a student. Not only are the teachers rewarding the student in front of their peers, but they are also encouraging competition among others. I had never thought about such praise being negative or controlling. I see this all the time in classrooms I observe and even classes I have been in as a college student. However, after reading this chapter it makes sense that it actually is negative and can cause serious problems among the students. I wish more educators understood this idea and did not continue to express such praises and comments to their
If the feedback is questionable then it becomes useless because it is not trusted. Positive and negative feedback will be more readily accepted if it is kept even, if it is more of one then it may not be received well by the learner for reasons that become obvious within the learner’s behavior or work.
e). Use an appropriate assessment tool - These are tools set in place including questions
* This is to determine if the delivery and assessment meets the requirements of the standards or assessment criteria , the whole assessment process needs to be accutat, consistate, safe and meets all organisation requirements.
Healthcare related with infections account for almost 80,000 deaths per year in the United States. Significantly the healthcare department supports hand hygiene decreases the transmission of healthcare associated pathogens and the incidence of healthcare associated infections. These days hand hygiene and improvements in healthcare associated infections is inflexible to verify in health care. World health organization (WHO) highly suggested that we need to practice hand hygiene. This will reduce infection in the health care facility. Compliance with hand hygiene practices among health care workers has generally very short. The main objective of these quality assurance programme is to prevent infection and awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in health care. Hand hygiene is a unlike the way of thinking about safety and patient care and includes everyone in the hospital together with patients and health care providers. Effective hand hygiene practices in hospitals play a key role in improving patient and provider safety and in preventing the spread of health care associated infections.
Hands were wet by a running tap and antiseptic detergents or liquid soap (5ml was poured onto the hands, the technique consisted of five backwards and forwards strokes in the motion of; palm to palm, each palm over the other hand’s back, interlocking palm to palm, each palm over the other hand’s back interlocked and then the rotational scrubbing of the fingers into each palm finalised by the rubbing of the wrists during a 30-second time span. Then the hands were rinsed with water for 15-seconds and dried with two paper towels for 15-seconds. (Ayliffe et all, 1978) Whilst this technique has strict timescales the WHO elects the timescale of roughly the time taken to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. This raises concerns over the approximates as this will differ from person to person. The procedure itself remains nearly exact except from the addition of turning the tap off with a towel to avoid recontamination and the exact timings are lost. This technique only stated to use running water, however no temperature was specified. Hand Washing for Life (200-) advises that water should not be above 110F as this temperature would cause hands become damaged by loosing delicate tissues on the skin. This can cause bacteria to become trapped and more difficult to remove, as well as cause pain to the worker. It is a legal requirement for health professions to take the necessary measures to
You have to be the most inconsiderate, selfish, uncaring walking bag of bones if you don’t cover your mouth when you cough. Just because you have a sudden urge to release germ filled particles from your mouth, doesn’t mean you can’t stop it. A simple solution is just to cover your mouth.
