Nurses capable of adequately developing their competencies in the management field are essential for the sustainability of health-care organizations. Such competencies should be included in a model of specific competencies.
The aim of this research is to propose a competency model for nurse executives.
The Delphi method was applied to reach a consensus on the required competencies, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to determine the construct validity and reduce the data set's dimensionality. Consensus was defined based on at least 80% of the experts agreeing with the proposed competencies. For each competency, the development levels were beginner, advanced beginner, competent, highly competent and expert.
From among the 51 competencies that were identified to define a model for nurse executives, decision-making, leadership and communication stood out. The PCA indicated the structural validity of the proposed model by saturation of the principal components (Cronbach's α > 0.631).
Nurses wishing to develop their professional careers as nurse executives must first develop the competencies shown in the proposed model. Nurse executives should follow the educational programmes specified in this study, to adapt their knowledge to this role's requirements.
能够充分发展管理领域能力的护士对于医疗保健组织的可持续性至关重要。这些能力应包含在特定能力模型中。
本研究旨在为护理管理人员提出一个能力模型。
采用德尔菲法就所需能力达成共识，并应用主成分分析（PCA）确定结构有效性和减少数据集的维度。共识定义为至少 80%的专家同意所提出的能力。对于每项能力，发展水平分为初学者、高级初学者、胜任者、高度胜任者和专家。
在确定护理管理人员模型的 51 项能力中，决策、领导和沟通能力尤为突出。PCA 通过主成分的饱和（Cronbach 的 α > 0.631）表明了所提出模型的结构有效性。
希望将职业发展为护理管理人员的护士必须首先发展所提出模型中展示的能力。护理管理人员应遵循本研究规定的教育计划，使他们的知识适应这一角色的要求。
