To analyse graduating nursing students' self-assessed competence level in Europe at graduation, at the beginning of nursing career.
An international cross-sectional evaluative design.
Data were collected in February 2018-July 2019 from graduating nursing students in 10 European countries. Competence was assessed with a validated instrument, the Nurse Competence Scale (NCS). The sample comprised 3,490 students (response rate 45%), and data were analysed statistically.
In all countries, graduating nursing students assessed their competence as good (range 50.0-69.1; VAS 0-100), albeit with statistically significant differences between countries. The assessments were highest in Iceland and lowest in Lithuania. Older students, those with working experience in health care, satisfied with their current degree programme, with excellent or good study achievements, graduating to 1st study choice and having a nursing career plan for future assessed their competence higher.
分析欧洲即将毕业的护理学生在毕业时和护理职业生涯开始时的自我评估能力水平。
一项国际横断面评估设计。
2018 年 2 月至 2019 年 7 月，从 10 个欧洲国家的即将毕业的护理学生中收集数据。使用经过验证的工具护士能力量表（NCS）评估能力。样本包括 3490 名学生（应答率为 45%），并进行了统计分析。
所有国家的即将毕业的护理学生都将自己的能力评估为良好（范围为 50.0-69.1；VAS 0-100），尽管各国之间存在统计学上的显著差异。在冰岛评估最高，而在立陶宛评估最低。年龄较大、有医疗保健工作经验、对当前学位课程满意、学习成绩优秀或良好、以第一志愿毕业且对未来有护理职业规划的学生对自己的能力评估更高。
