“…9 Other studies identified strong relationships type of institutions and performance this was reported by Edward, where private schools performed best followed by faith-based (mission) and least performance was government (public). 10 In as much as percentages in faith based were higher than private institutions, the p value demonstrated no significance (p=0.292) but for private there was a significance (p=0.001). There was a significant relationship between mode of study and performance, parttime students performed better than direct students (OR: 9.6, 95% C. I: 2.9-31.5, p=0.005) showing there is a significant mode of study meaning there is a likelihood that part-time students preformed much higher than direct students.…”

Background: Clinical medicine program has recorded high rates of student’s enrolment to training while their performance in clinical officers’ council (COC) licensure examination remains variable. This study investigated performance of clinical medicine degree student’s in COC examinations by determining student characteristics, institutional and regulatory body factors in relation to performance.Methods: A retrospective study, using mixed method approach to collect data. A sample total of 427 of students was analyzed while cluster and purposive sampling were used for key informants interviewed. Quantitative data was converted from Microsoft excel to statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) software version 26 and analysed. Odd ratio was used to measure strength of association between students,institutions and regulatoy body charateristics and performance with p<0.05 being considered significant. Qualitative data was transcribed for content analysis.Results: The results indicated that there was highly significant relationship among the performance of students in government and private institutions respectively (p<0.001) unlike faith-based institutions (p=0.292). Private institutions were 0.158 more likely to perform better than other institutions while government institutions were 5 times more likely to perform better than any other institutions.Conclusions: Age, mode of study and years of experience were found to be significant factors associated with performance while intergrity in marking was an important concern. The recommendations from the study are that training institutions continue upgrading program but factors contributing to low performances should be looked into. There is need to select experienced faculty to teach and set competency based licensure examination after internship.The study has demonstrated that results can be used to predict performance which are reliable for developing recruitment and examination policies.

This study evaluated performance of BSc nursing students in NCK examinations by examining institutional characteristics in relation to performance. NCK identified it as priority area of research. The study used qualitative and quantitative approach to collect data retrospectively. The records of 1292 students who sat examinations in the period between the period July 2012-June 2015 from NCK nurses database was used. Cluster and purposive sampling were done for key informants interviewed from nursing schools. Quantitative data was converted from MS Access to SAS and analyzed. Odds ratio was used to measure strength of association between institutional characteristics and performance with p ≤ 0.05 being considered significant. Qualitative data was recorded and transcribed for content analysis. The proportion of those who passed and aged 30 years and above (upgraders) was significantly higher than those who were less than 30 years (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.2-2.2, p= 0.002). Both Class attendance policy and faculty experience had marginal positive association (OR: 0.4, 95%CI: 1.0-2.0, p=0.068) and (OR: 0.7, 95%CI: 0.5-1.0, p=0.068) respectively. Admission criteria was reported by key informants to be influencing performance, In conclusion the study identified faculty years of experience and class attendance policy were associated with performance. Mode of study was reported to influence performance by key informants. The study recommended training institutions to continue with upgrading Programmes, uphold class attendance policy, select faculty based on experience.
