Taiwan's Department of Health (DOH) promotes a standardized 2-year training program to raise the competence of newly certified nurses in the realms of patient care, nursing professionalism and communication skills as well as to ensure professional nurse training program quality.
This study evaluated training program participants' self-perception of nursing competency.
We used a cross-sectional approach and structured questionnaire to evaluate the nursing competency of 128 nurse trainees at a medical center. Questionnaires were filled out independently by participants and thus reflect participant self-assessments of questionnaire items. Descriptive and correlation analyses further explored data.
Results showed: mean scores were 3.80 ± .60 for clinical technique; 3.78 ± .67 for administrative skill; and 3.21 ± .88 for educational and research skills . Nursing ability correlated significantly with age, seniority, nursing grade, and courses taken. The relationship between participant total score and program completion ratio formed a "V"-shaped distribution.
CONCLUSIONS / IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The DOH training program was has a positive effect on nursing competency in nurse trainees. Results also provide valuable information and suggestions for revising the DOH's nurse training program in the future.
台湾地区卫生署推行一项标准化的两年培训计划，以提升新获得资质护士在患者护理、护理专业素养及沟通技巧方面的能力，并确保专业护士培训计划的质量。
本研究评估了培训计划参与者对护理能力的自我认知。
我们采用横断面研究方法及结构化问卷，对某医疗中心的128名护士学员的护理能力进行评估。问卷由参与者独立填写，因此反映了参与者对问卷项目的自我评估。描述性分析和相关性分析进一步探究了数据。
结果显示：临床技能平均得分为3.80±0.60；管理技能平均得分为3.78±0.67；教育与研究技能平均得分为3.21±0.88。护理能力与年龄、资历、护理等级及所修课程显著相关。参与者总分与课程完成率之间的关系呈“V”形分布。
结论/对实践的启示：卫生署的培训计划对护士学员的护理能力有积极影响。研究结果也为未来修订卫生署的护士培训计划提供了有价值信息和建议。
