India needs 2.4 mn nurses; 45% trained professionals unable to perform: reveals Aspiring Minds Report
Nearly 45 per cent of nursing candidates who underwent skill training
in India lack proper knowledge to carry out daily care activities like
transferring a paralysed patient from a bed to a wheelchair. The findings are
reflected in the recent report by Aspiring Minds, global leader in assessments,
on the employability of nursing professionals in India.
The report is based on a study conducted by Aspiring Minds on 3000 candidates who took Nursing Assistant training across India during the year 2017. The study was conducted using TESLA, Aspiring Minds' flagship framework for vocational assessments. This analysis is in continuation to Aspiring Minds' efforts in gauging employability of young and upcoming workforce across various fields and professions.
The findings of the report are that 31 per cent to 45 per cent candidates lack proper training to carry out daily care activities such as transferring a paralyzed patient from a bed to a wheelchair. This is concerning and calls for more focus on real world situation handling and exhaustive practical training on the field.
It is alarming that close to 40 per cent nursing candidates do not know how to handle a medical equipment as basic as a thermometer and have still graduated from the training programme. Most of the candidates are aware of the basic protective measures to take in order to maintain health and safety at workplace. This includes knowledge about safety symbols and usage of personal protective equipment used in the healthcare sector.
"Our rock solid vocational skill assessment technology has allowed us to measure skilling levels and capabilities trends like never before. Nursing Assistant Report 2017, like many of our other leading employability reports will help in gauging employability of nursing professionals and offers critical insights on the deficits existing at training level, said Himanshu Aggarwal, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Aspiring Minds.
TESLA is Aspiring Minds' framework for vocational assessments. It is a tablet based multilingual test designed specifically for vocational roles using audio/video stimulus, automated simulation based questions and case based scenarios to test a candidate's knowledge and skills. It has been used to assess over a million vocational workers in India and Middle East so far.
