The competence of nurse educators and cooperation between nurse educators and nurse leaders and mentors are important in terms of producing high-quality and evidence-based nursing education.
The purpose of this study was to assess the competence of nurse educators based on their own evaluations as well as those of nursing students, educational administrators, nurse leaders and nurse mentors and to describe the cooperation between educators and educational administrators, nurse leaders and nurse mentors.
A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used.
The research was conducted in educational and clinical nursing settings.
The nurse educators, students and educational administrators were from polytechnics offering degree programs in nursing, public health nursing, emergency nursing and midwifery. The nurse leaders represented special health care and primary health care. The nurse mentors were nurses working in the medical wards of the university hospitals.
The data were collected via email using a structured questionnaire (A Tool for Evaluation of Requirements of Nurse Teacher).
In total 689 responses were received from nurse educators (n=342), nursing students (n=202), educational administrators (n=17), nurse leaders (n=64) and nurse mentors (n=64). The results show that nurse educators rated their competence as being very good. Nursing students and nurse mentors were the most critical in their evaluations. The cooperation between nurse educators and educational administrators and nurse leaders was rated as good but nurse mentors were quite critical.
To maintain and improve the competence and cooperation of nurse educators, interventions are needed.
在开展高质量且基于证据的护理教育方面，护士教育工作者的能力以及护士教育工作者与护士领导者和导师之间的合作至关重要。
本研究旨在根据护士教育工作者自身的评价以及护理专业学生、教育管理人员、护士领导者和护士导师的评价来评估护士教育工作者的能力，并描述教育工作者与教育管理人员、护士领导者和护士导师之间的合作情况。
采用描述性横断面调查设计。
该研究在教育和临床护理环境中进行。
护士教育工作者、学生和教育管理人员来自提供护理、公共卫生护理、急诊护理和助产学位课程 的理工学院。护士领导者代表特殊医疗保健和初级卫生保健领域。护士导师是在大学医院内科病房工作的护士。
通过电子邮件使用结构化问卷（护士教师要求评估工具）收集数据。
共收到来自护士教育工作者（n = 342）、护理专业学生（n = 202）、教育管理人员（n = 17）、护士领导者（n = 64）和护士导师（n = 64）的689份回复。结果显示，护士教育工作者将自己的能力评为非常好。护理专业学生和护士导师的评价最为严格。护士教育工作者与教育管理人员以及护士领导者之间的合作被评为良好，但护士导师的评价相当严格。
为了维持和提高护士教育工作者的能力及合作水平，需要采取干预措施。
