Abstract

BACKGROUND

Nurse practitioner education and practice has been guided by generic competency standards in Australia since 2006. Development of specialist competencies has been less structured and there are no formal standards to guide education and continuing professional development for specialty fields. There is limited international research and no Australian research into development of specialist nurse practitioner competencies. This pilot study aimed to test data collection methods, tools and processes in preparation for a larger national study to investigate specialist competency standards for emergency nurse practitioners. Research into specialist emergency nurse practitioner competencies has not been conducted in Australia.

METHODS

Mixed methods research was conducted with a sample of experienced emergency nurse practitioners. Deductive analysis of data from a focus group workshop informed development of a draft specialty competency framework. The framework was subsequently subjected to systematic scrutiny for consensus validation through a two round Delphi Study.

RESULTS

The Delphi study first round had a 100% response rate; the second round 75% response rate. The scoring for all items in both rounds was above the 80% cut off mark with the lowest mean score being 4.1 (82%) from the first round.

CONCLUSION

The authors collaborated with emergency nurse practitioners to produce preliminary data on the formation of specialty competencies as a first step in developing an Australian framework.

摘要

背景

自2006年以来，澳大利亚执业护士的教育和实践一直以通用能力标准为指导。专科能力的发展较少有系统性，且没有正式的标准来指导专科领域的教育和持续专业发展。关于专科执业护士能力发展的国际研究有限，澳大利亚也没有相关研究。这项试点研究旨在测试数据收集方法、工具和流程，为一项更大规模的全国性研究做准备，该全国性研究旨在调查急诊执业护士的专科能力标准。澳大利亚尚未开展关于专科急诊执业护士能力的研究。
