A collaborative research team of community/public health nursing faculty and public health nurses surveyed public health nurses to explore knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of the Quad Council Competencies for Public Health Nurses (QCC-PHN).
Evaluate the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of the 2011 QCC-PHN by public health nurses.
A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used to answer the hypothesis related to the study objective. A convenience sample of 308 public health nurses completed an online survey.
ANOVA was used to determine the difference between the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of community/public health nurses (C/PHNs) regarding the QCC-PHN based on nursing specialty preparation, years of nursing experience, and years of C/PHN experience.
C/PHNs are described and differences in knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application are delineated. A statistically significant difference was found in knowledge and attitude based upon years of C/PHN experience.
Recommendations are proposed for increasing the QCC-PHN awareness, implementation, and evaluation to effectively enhance the practice of nursing C/PHN.
社区/公共卫生护理教师和公共卫生护士的合作研究团队调查了公共卫生护士，以探讨公共卫生护士对四理事会公共卫生护士能力（QCC-PHN）的知识、技能、态度和应用。
评估公共卫生护士对 2011 年 QCC-PHN 的知识、技能、态度和应用。
采用描述性、横断面设计来回答与研究目标相关的假设。对 308 名公共卫生护士进行了一项在线调查。
方差分析用于确定护理专业准备、护理经验年限和社区/公共卫生护士经验年限方面的社区/公共卫生护士（C/PHN）对 QCC-PHN 的知识、技能、态度和应用之间的差异。
对 C/PHN 进行了描述，并确定了知识、技能、态度和应用方面的差异。基于 C/PHN 经验年限，在知识和态度方面存在统计学显著差异。
提出了提高 QCC-PHN 意识、实施和评估的建议，以有效加强护理 C/PHN 的实践。
