To explore the competence areas of public health nurses in Norway.
A qualitative and comparative design was employed.
A purposive sample of 41 public health nurses participated.
Data were gathered from focus groups and individual interviews. The interviews centered around an open question about public health nurses' knowledge. They also discussed 10 proposed competence areas for public health nursing, developed from the literature. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on the interview transcripts, followed by a synthesis of the data from the interviews and earlier developed competencies. The 10 competence areas for Norwegian public health nursing were then refined. Finally, we compared the affirmed competence areas with earlier developed cornerstones and the new educational guidelines.
The interviews revealed 10 competence areas. These 10 competence areas were synthesized with the 10 proposed competencies from literature. Ten affirmed competence areas, which mostly corresponded with the competences from literature, were developed. The affirmed competencies were supported by the previously developed cornerstones and new educational guidelines.
The affirmed competencies will help promote and explain the content and focus of PHNs' work in Norway and may have implications for education and international research.
探讨挪威公共卫生护士的能力领域。
采用定性和比较设计。
41 名公共卫生护士参与了一项有针对性的抽样。
数据来自焦点小组和个人访谈。访谈围绕着一个关于公共卫生护士知识的开放性问题展开。他们还讨论了从文献中发展而来的公共卫生护理的 10 个拟议能力领域。对访谈记录进行了定性内容分析，然后对访谈和早期开发的能力数据进行综合。然后对挪威公共卫生护理的 10 个能力领域进行了精炼。最后，我们将确认的能力领域与早期开发的基石和新的教育指导方针进行了比较。
访谈揭示了 10 个能力领域。这些 10 个能力领域与文献中的 10 个拟议能力相结合。制定了 10 个得到确认的能力领域，这些能力领域主要与文献中的能力相对应。确认的能力得到了先前制定的基石和新的教育指导方针的支持。
确认的能力将有助于促进和解释挪威 PHN 工作的内容和重点，并可能对教育和国际研究产生影响。
