The purpose of this study was to define and clarify the concept of political competence for nurses.
A hybrid model method was used to investigate the dimensions, attributes, and definitions of the concept. In the theoretical stage of the study, literature on nursing, politics, and other discipline were reviewed. In the fieldwork stage, individual in-depth interviews and focus groups interviews were conducted with politically seasoned experts or activists who had an understanding of the concept of political competence for extensive descriptions in nursing and field of health care.
The concept of political competence was represented in four dimensions as political knowledge, political efficacy, political interaction, and political activity. In the political knowledge dimension, there were three attributes, namely, political knowledge, political information and systematic analysis ability. The political efficacy dimension had three attributes of internal political efficacy, external political efficacy, and self-pride of nursing profession. The political interaction dimension had three attributes of organizations and community service, networking, and persuasive power. The political activity dimension had six attributes of political leadership, political expression, assertive behavior, political advocacy, political participation, and policy intervention.
This concept development might provide a basic understanding of developing a measurement tool and for constructing a theory promoting nurses' political competence.
本研究旨在界定并阐明护士政治能力的概念。
采用混合模型法来探究该概念的维度、属性及定义。在研究的理论阶段，对护理、政治及其他学科的文献进行了综述。在实地调研阶段，对在政治方面经验丰富、了解护理及医疗保健领域政治能力概念的专家或活动家进行了个人深度访谈和焦点小组访谈，以获取详尽描述。
政治能力的概念体现在政治知识、政治效能、政治互动和政治活动四个维度。在政治知识维度，有政治知识、政治信息和系统分析能力三个属性。政治效能维度有内部政治效能、外部政治效能和护理专业自豪感三个属性。政治互动维度有组织与社区服务、网络联系和说服力三个属性。政治活动维度有政治领导力、政治表达、坚定行为、政治倡导、政治参与和政策干预六个属性。
这一概念的发展或许能为开发测量工具以及构建提升护士政治能力的理论提供基本理解。
