Defining the construct of Masters level clinical practice in healthcare based on the UK experience

Abstract

Background: Growing emphasis on Masters level provision has been facilitated by the migration of education into Higher Education and the requirement for Continuing Professional Development. Paralleling this has been the development of specialisation in clinical practice. These factors have contributed to a proliferation of Masters courses aiming to develop specialist clinical practice.

Aims: The aim of the study was to define the behaviours that are indicative of the construct of masters level clinical practice, using the UK experience as an example.

Method: A modified Delphi study employed a total population sample of course tutors of masters courses (nursing/midwifery, physiotherapy, radiography, interprofessional) in the UK assessing clinical practice (n = 48). Round 1 requested behaviours indicative of the construct of Masters level clinical practice. Data were analysed through descriptive coding identifying emerging themes to inform the behaviours included in round 2 that asked the participants to rank the importance of each behaviour on a 1–5 scale. Round 3 requested ranking the importance of the different behaviours to the construct. Descriptive analysis and the use of Kendall's coefficient of concordance and Spearman's rho enabled interpretation of consensus in rounds 2 and 3.

Results: The response rate for the Delphi study was very good. There was good consensus amongst the 28 behaviours identified for round 1. The second round enabled 21 behaviours agreed to be very important indicators of the construct to be taken into round 3. The ranking process in round 3 highlighted the importance of for example, a critical approach to practice and advanced clinical reasoning.

Conclusion: The resulting 20 behaviours demonstrate good measurement validity and external validity. The components of the construct can therefore be used as the basis for further research.

Introduction

Rapid developments in healthcare knowledge and technology over the past decade have contributed to a demand for healthcare professionals to develop expertise in managing more complex problems. Insights from complexity theory have been used to facilitate greater understanding of how processes central to patient management develop in an often unpredictable manner (Holt 2004). Several developments have specifically contributed to the emphasis on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses as a means of developing this expertise. These included the migration of healthcare professional courses into higher education (HE), the mandatory requirement for continuing professional development (CPD) and the development of specialization within clinical practice. Central to the current proliferation of masters courses in the UK is the emphasis on developing clinical expertise (Department of Health 1999, 2000a, 2000b; Rushton & Lindsay 2007). Masters courses are described as second cycle taught courses, commonly taken by students with an Honours degree or equivalent (Judge et al. 2005). The emphasis of masters courses on enabling students to manage the complexity of issues in a systematic and creative way (QAA (Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education) 2001) provides support for the requirement of expertise to manage more complex problems within the clinical environment.

Table

Practice points
•There is an increasing focus on higher education and in particular masters level provision internationally.
•There is minimal attention in the literature regarding clinical practice at Masters level to date.
•20 behaviours indicative of the construct of Masters level clinical practice were identified and agreed.
•The behaviours demonstrate good measurement validity and external validity.
•Exploration of the differences between professions and/or speciality in the prioritization of the behaviours would be valuable.

Increased provision of academic opportunities have contributed to uncertainty surrounding the differentiation of academic level in relation to clinical practice in nursing (Davis & Burnard 1992; Elkan & Robinson 1995; James & Redfern 1995; Gerrish et al. 2000), with masters level frequently equated with clinical specialist (Whyte et al. 2000). In Physiotherapy, Donaghy & Gosling (1999) proposed an outcome-based model of defining specialists highlighting clinically based Masters degrees. The clinical nurse specialist in the US and consultant level in the UK require study at Masters or PhD level (Raja-Jones 2002). Difficulties regarding level are mirrored in the wider educational literature (Winter 1994; HEQC (Higher Education Quality Council) 1996). Following the Harris and Dearing reports, Atkins & Redley (1998) were commissioned to examine the identification, description, and monitoring of standards across a stratified sample of 12 HE institutions encompassing 94 masters courses. They found variation in the explicit definition of level, although consensus for the dissertation element. Although clarity has been provided through the defined frameworks for HE qualifications (QAA 2001) and the Dublin descriptors (JQI (Joint Quality Initiative) 2004) for the academic aspects of an award, the identification of academic level related to clinical expertise is receiving increasing attention. The Bologna Declaration (1999) was agreed by Ministers of Education from 29 European countries. The aim of the accord was to develop a European approach to education to enable comparability, mobility and an equality of high standards of educational provision between countries. Since signing, the number of participant countries has increased, and it was agreed in 2005 to adopt a framework of qualifications. As part of this agreement, descriptors were agreed for the first two cycles of education, commonly described as the Dublin descriptors (JQI 2004) that demonstrate good correlation with the descriptors previously defined by the QAA framework for Higher Education for the UK (QAA 2001). The European Consortium for Education has subsequently developed this work into a European Qualifications Framework.

Masters level education enables students to apply knowledge, develop an understanding of how boundaries are advanced through research, and to manage complex issues systematically, with self-direction, creativity and with originality. The qualities necessary for working include personal responsibility, initiative, judgement in complex and unpredictable professional environments, and an autonomous approach to learning (QAA 2001; JQI 2004). These characteristics will be reflected in all Masters courses, as these frameworks are now used as the basis for curriculum design. The emphasis of the existing descriptors for qualification at Masters level is knowledge.

Although few studies have explored the characteristics of Masters level in healthcare, it has been argued that there is a lack of agreement on the outcomes of courses at this level (Aitken et al. 2007) and some key issues have been identified. Development of knowledge was described as focused and deep with competence in research (Davis & Burnard 1992; Marshall et al. 2007) in line with the QAA (2001), although in contrast Gerrish et al. (2000) described a broadening of knowledge. The locus of control for learning was with the tutor (Davis & Burnard 1992) rather than with the students (QAA 2001). Davis & Burnard (1992) placed emphasis on the application of academic skills to the clinical context, rather than the development of clinical skills, although Gerrish et al. (2000) findings supported the proposition that the clinical practice was at Masters level. In line with the QAA (2001) descriptor, a strategic approach to complex situations has been identified (Whyte et al. 2000; Marshall et al. 2007). The findings from these studies exploring healthcare courses highlight some differences from the existing frameworks (QAA 2001; JQI 2004) that pay little attention to clinical practice at this advanced level. Gerrish et al.'s (2000) research was particularly valuable as it used focus groups to inform in-depth interviews of nursing educators, although in identifying expectations of clinical practice it did question the reliability of educators in defining characteristics of masters level.

A critical analysis of the literature facilitated through a conceptual framework of a soft systems methodology, identified a gap within the literature relating to Masters level clinical education (Rushton & Lindsay 2003). An exploration of this complex area was initially facilitated by a survey that explored the characteristics of existing courses for healthcare professionals that aimed to develop clinical expertise (Rushton & Lindsay 2007). The survey highlighted many important issues of current practice, with a central feature being the articulation of the 'Masters levelness' of clinical practice. The informing components to this research therefore contributed to a focused area for exploration of the construct of Masters level clinical practice, using the UK experience as an example.

Methodology

Delphi study

The Delphi method has been described as a ‘method for the systematic collection and aggregation of informed judgements from a group of experts on specific questions or issues’ (Reid 1993, p. 131). It has been used to examine learning outcomes in nursing education (Jerlock et al. 2003; Marshall et al. 2007). It was used in the present study to define a domain of content for the construct of Masters level clinical practice through national consensus. Delphi maximises the benefits of using an informed panel while minimising the disadvantages recognised in collective decision-making (Jones & Hunter 2000). Delphi permits access to larger groups that meetings would inhibit (Williams & Webb 1994). If consensus is achieved, there is evidence of concurrent validity as the participants have both identified and agreed components (Williams & Webb 1994) and face validity, as an expert panel from the 'real world' provides confirmative judgements (Cross 1999).

An iterative process of three rounds provided the opportunity for individuals to alter or develop their opinions, while controlled feedback to participants and statistical analysis of the group response provided more information than a statement of consensus (Pill 1971; Rowe et al. 1991). The method used in this study was a modified Delphi, through an explicit emphasis of a different purpose for each round. A combination of quantitative and qualitative data was collected.

Sample

Participants comprised the course tutors of all masters courses for healthcare professionals in the UK (N = 48) running in the 2002/3 academic year. All courses aimed to develop students’ clinical expertise and utilised direct assessment of clinical practice through a clinical placement. Although Gerrish et al. (2000) questioned the reliability of educators in defining characteristics of masters level, this sample was defined post QAA (2001) informing practice; furthermore, these data would be triangulated with data from a case study. A total population sample was used (n = 48) derived from the descriptive survey (Rushton & Lindsay 2007), affording good external validity (Oppenheim 1992). The inclusion criteria for courses included BSc as the entry point into the profession to standardise the postgraduate educational structure, and a similar basis of practice combining reasoning and clinical skills, so allowing comparison between professions (nursing and midwifery (n = 6), physiotherapy (n = 10), radiography (n = 27), and Interprofessional (n = 5)).

Procedure and analysis

Invitation to participate, accompanied by an information sheet, was made by email or post. Informed consent was assumed through the decision of participants to return the questionnaire. Ethical approval was obtained through the lead author's institution. For each round, reminders were sent out to non-respondents after 3 and 6 weeks by email/post.

Round 1 requested >10 behaviours indicative of the construct of masters level clinical practice and sought comment to afford insight into the participants’ decision-making. Analysis of the data identified themes. Analysis of each round was supported by independent analysis of the data by an independent researcher. Open questions were included in each round and were analysed throughout by the development of analytical categories and theoretical propositions.

Round 2 provided feedback in the form of the aggregated responses from round 1. Participants' ratings of importance of the behaviours were measured by a 1–5 Likert scale (Kerlinger & Lee 2000). Level of consensus was established as a mean rating of 4, after Murphy (1983, cited Duffield 1993) and a coefficient of variation (CV) of ≤20%. Consensus across all participants within the radiography and physiotherapy groups was evaluated using Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) (Cross 1999; Sim & Wright 2000) while consensus between the physiotherapy and radiography groups was evaluated using Spearman's rho applied to the two sets of mean ratings (Sim & Wright 2000). The interprofessional and nursing samples were not explored further owing to the low numbers in both groups.

Round 3 provided feedback on round 2 and explored the ranking of the importance of the listed behaviours. The 25th and 75th percentiles, medians and interquartile ranges were used to evaluate the importance of each behaviour to the construct through the participants’ ranking. The mean, SD and CV were not used as nine of the 21 behaviours demonstrated a bimodal distribution. Inferential analysis of consensus was evaluated as for round 2 employing Kendall's W and Spearman's rho.

Results

Round 1

Of those course tutors contacted (n = 48), 38 agreed to participate in the Delphi study and subsequently responded to the round 1 questionnaire (response rate 79.1%). The courses represented comprised 10 physiotherapy, 3 nursing, 21 radiography, and 4 interprofessional. A large number of behaviours (range 7–20) were provided by the participants, with those provided by ≥2 participants included for further analysis (n = 28 behaviours) (Table 1).

The three most commonly occurring behaviours were provided by >60% of the participants with a further five behaviours provided by >50%, demonstrating high consensus. Twenty five participants managed to list more than 10 behaviours. Where the task was judged easy (n = 18), this centred on being able to use existing documentation to assist responses.

The behaviours are the documented outcomes for the programme, therefore very easy to provide. (Nursing 2)

Participants who found the task moderately easy (n = 9) did not support their view with any other comments, while 11 participants found it challenging.

Difficult because many of these are expected of new graduates, but in M level we are looking for a much higher skill level and mastery of their discipline … (Radiography 15)

The task prompted further consideration of issues.

This exercise has made me realise that although we have identified behaviours in the … programme document, we have not explicitly documented these in clinical handbooks etc and rather have relied on implicit tacit understanding that these behaviours are required. (Physiotherapy 10)

Round 2

Thirty-seven participants responded to the round 2 questionnaire. There was high agreement from participants for the importance of most behaviours, as reflected by the high mean scores (Table 2).

Good consensus of agreement across all participants was indicated by the low SDs (0.51 to 0.92), and low values of the coefficient of variation (CV). The cut off point for consensus of mean of 4 (‘important’), and CV of ≤20%, included all but the lowest 6 behaviours.

There was statistically significant agreement across all participants (W = 0.289, df 27, p < 0.001) and within both the physiotherapy group (W = 0.454, df 27, p < 0.001) and within the radiography group (W = 0.294, df 27, p < 0.001). There was also statistically significant association between the ratings by the physiotherapy and radiography groups (r_s = 0.735, p < 0.001).

Some participants felt that the boundaries between different levels of practice merited further consideration:

Very difficult to know the boundary between M level and Doctoral level (many of the above would be expected of higher level) – this will be the problem facing practitioners when they consider advanced versus consultant level practice. (Radiography 15)

Several participants emphasised the high expectations of masters level practice:

… the M level clinical practitioner almost walking on water! (Physiotherapy 10)

The six behaviours that demonstrated low consensus and lesser importance were removed for round 3, a decision supported by the analysis of the qualitative data regarding the behaviours that participants found unclear. In addition the qualitative data highlighted the problematic item 'advanced professionalism' which was also removed.

Round 3

Thirty four participants responded to round 3. Each ranked the importance of the behaviours to the construct of Masters level clinical practice from 1 (most important) to 21 (least important). The consensus of agreement between all participants was good for some of the included behaviours (see Table 3).

Note: Consensus achieved in behaviours highlighted in bold.

Figure 1 illustrates differences in the participants’ ranking of the 21 behaviours as reflected by the medians and the distributions of the interquartile ranges. The determination of consensus as an interquartile range of <9 was justified through visual analysis of the data and in particular nine represented the midpoint of the range of interquartile values. There was statistically significant agreement across all participants (W = 0.200, df 20, p < 0.001) and within both the physiotherapy group (W = 0.302, df 20, p < 0.001) and the radiography group (W = 0.250, df 20, p < 0.001). Consensus for the lowest ranked behaviour (behaviour 21) by all participants justified its subsequent removal. In contrast, there was no significant association between the physiotherapy and radiography groups’ rankings of the behaviours (r_s = 0.283, p = 0.214).

Figure 1. Comparison of the participants' ranking of the importance of the behaviours to the construct.

All participants commented on the difficulty of the process of ranking.

Very difficult since in fact these behaviours are all influenced by each other e.g. use of critical evidence is influenced by level of knowledge, critical ability etc. (Nursing 1)

Those behaviours which I have ranked as less important are only relatively 'unimportant' in that they should be assumed to be fully established and embedded at graduate level. The ones I have ranked most important are those which I think extend the practitioner into the construct of M level operation. (Radiography 18)

Others found it difficult to differentiate between the behaviours as they all seemed equally important. However, although a difficult process, several participants found the process of ranking thought-provoking and some participants emphasised that they would rank differently for different areas of speciality.

Different areas of clinical practice will be ranked differently; I assumed a musculoskeletal area, whereas mental health would have been ranked differently. (Physiotherapy 6)

Discussion

In round 1, consensus was demonstrated for the 28 behaviours defined as indicative of the construct of Masters level clinical practice, with five behaviours demonstrating good consensus, and three behaviours demonstrating very good consensus. Most participants found the task easy, often drawing upon documented outcomes for programmes or clinical assessment schedules. The unimodal and negatively skewed data from round 2 illustrate the content validity of the behaviours from round 1 supported by no new behaviours being added. Consensus between participants was good for most behaviours although some were less important to the construct as reflected by lower means, with a lack of consensus indicated by higher CVs, suggesting that important differences exist between participants’ ratings for some behaviours. However, significant agreement was found across the whole sample and within the physiotherapy and radiography groups separately. The lower means and greater CVs could therefore not be explained by low consensus overall, supporting the removal of specific behaviours where there was a lack of consensus and ratings of lower importance.

Consensus on the importance of the behaviours was examined in round 3 but with some differences in participants’ responses reflected in bimodal distributions for nine behaviours, and some large interquartile ranges. The behaviours illustrating consensus and high ranking are the behaviours identified by most participants from round 1. This suggests strongly held beliefs regarding these behaviours, as opinions have not been modified throughout the subsequent rounds. Interestingly, the order of importance of the behaviours has changed from round 1 to emphasise clinical reasoning as the most important behaviour to the construct, suggesting that further consideration of this behaviour prioritised it further. Consensus of the high and middle ranked behaviours adds further support to the content validity of the behaviours included, while the consensus regarding the low importance of one behaviour justified its removal in round 3. In contrast, no other behaviour demonstrated consensus of low importance.

In contrast to the lack of consensus of some behaviours, significant agreement was found across participants overall on their rankings, and for the physiotherapy and radiography groups separately. The bimodal distribution however suggested different rankings of the importance of the behaviours which was further supported by no significant agreement between the physiotherapy and radiography groups. This illustrates differences between the two professions in the ranking of the behaviours. As the content validity of the behaviours was good, this suggests an issue of ranking rather than inclusion and supports the notion that differences across professions are important to the prioritisation but not the content of the behaviours within the construct. The qualitative data additionally suggest that differences in prioritization may exist between specialities.

Discussion of behaviours

The analysis above highlights the consensus for the content of the behaviours but at the same time emphasises differences in the prioritisation of the behaviours across professions. The large number of behaviours described emphasises the high expectations of Masters courses, and links to ‘fitness for purpose’ for advanced clinical roles in the UK (DOH 2000a, 2000b).

Consensus across participants overall emphasised the greatest importance of a ‘high level of clinical reasoning’ to the construct. The QAA (2001) and Dublin (JQI 2004) descriptors do not address issues of direct relevance to clinical practice, so clinical reasoning is not encompassed. However, the descriptions of dealing with complex or unfamiliar situations systematically and imaginatively and making judgements in the absence of complete data, link broadly to the process of clinical reasoning in highlighting complex cognitive processes. The empirical studies in healthcare to date have also not defined clinical reasoning.

In contrast to clinical reasoning, the behaviours of ‘critical analysis in approach to practice’, and ‘critical use of evidence to inform practice’, are strongly represented within the QAA (2001) and Dublin (JQI 2004) descriptors, but through evaluating current research and methodologies, enabling conceptual understanding to inform practice. This highlights the transferability of the descriptor into the clinical environment for these behaviours. A critical attitude and approach was also identified as important through the empirical studies in healthcare (Davis & Burnard 1992; Gerrish et al. 2000; Whyte et al. 2000), as was the centrality of research to practice (Whyte et al. 2000; Davis & Burnard 1992). The difference in emphasis can perhaps be explained through the increasing attention to evidence based practice in healthcare in recent years (Bury 1998), and in particular, evidence informing decision-making in practice.

As the QAA and Dublin descriptors are now used to inform course design it is logical that their characteristics are reflected in the Delphi findings, and all aspects were encompassed. Some aspects of the descriptors were however less developed through the behaviours, for example, the emphasis on the complexity of problems and being able to manage them effectively. In addition, one aspect of the empirical work to date within healthcare was not reflected in the behaviours, that of increasing confidence in assessing complex situations (Whyte et al. 2000).

Measurement validity of the construct

As the behaviours were generated from the participants and critically reviewed iteratively, the different aspects of measurement validity for the construct were developed. The final 20 identified behaviours were justified as demonstrating good content validity. In addition, as the behaviours were provided by the course tutors themselves, they possessed high face and again content validity. High concurrent validity can also be argued as the experts (course tutors) have identified the behaviours and agreed upon their importance. Construct validity can also be confirmed as the similarity in the findings and the relationship between the components identified from the Delphi and case study (in preparation) reflect the theoretical relationships of the construct.

Conclusions

This study has therefore provided a sound basis for future research by affording insight into the construct of Masters level clinical practice. It provides preliminary work within this area that has the potential for being generalised beyond this study. The components of the construct can therefore be used as the basis for future research, and its generalisability can be evaluated across other professions and specialities. The measurement validity of the construct is good, and therefore provides justification for use of the construct in informing course design and the development of a tool for the assessment of student performance at masters level.
