Research indicates significant differences between nurse cohorts in many work-related factors. This study compared nurse competence between three generational cohorts comprising the current nursing workforce. The Nurse Competence Scale was used to collect data for this cross-sectional study from 2052 nurses in a university hospital in Finland. Data were analysed statistically. Significant differences were found between nurse cohorts in their competence. The length of work experience had a significant impact on the development of competence. The oldest cohort, with the longest work experience, had the highest competence scores (70.1 on a visual analogue scale), and the youngest had the lowest (59.0). All cohorts were most competent in patient-related nursing tasks, in maintenance of professional competence and in ethical care. Nurses were weakest in the development of nursing practice and the use of evidence-based knowledge. Targeted interventions in teaching-coaching for different nurse generations are needed to ensure the maintenance of nurse competence and high-quality patient care.
研究表明，护士群体在许多与工作相关的因素上存在显著差异。本研究比较了构成当前护理 workforce 的三代护士群体之间的护士能力。护士能力量表用于从芬兰一家大学医院的 2052 名护士中收集本横断面研究的数据。对数据进行了统计分析。发现护士群体之间在能力方面存在显著差异。工作经验的长短对能力的发展有显著影响。工作经验最长的最年长群体能力得分最高（视觉模拟量表上为 70.1），最年轻群体得分最低（59.0）。所有群体在与患者相关的护理任务、专业能力的维持和道德护理方面最有能力。护士在护理实践的发展和循证知识的运用方面最薄弱。需要针对不同代护士的教学指导进行有针对性的干预，以确保护士能力的维持和高质量的患者护理。
