Clinical competence development is a main goal of specialized nursing courses. Nonetheless, some master's graduates of gerontological nursing programs have inadequate Clinical competence. The aim of this study was to explore the barriers and the facilitators to clinical competence development among the master's graduates of gerontological nursing.
This qualitative descriptive study was conducted in 2020. Participants were twenty nursing master's students, master's graduates, and instructors of gerontological nursing. They were purposively selected from several faculties of nursing and midwifery in Tehran, Isfahan, and Kashan, Iran. Semi-structured interviews were held for data collection and the conventional content analysis proposed by Graneheim and Lundman was used for data analysis. Data were managed using the MAXQDA 10 software.
The main barriers to clinical competence development were students' neglectfulness towards learning, inefficiency of educational system, and ineffective management. The main facilitators to clinical competence development were effective educational planning and management improvement.
There are different personal, educational, and managerial barriers and facilitators to clinical competence development among master's graduates of gerontological nursing. Effective educational planning and management improvement are needed for clinical competence development among master's students and graduates of gerontological nursing.
临床能力发展是专科护理课程的主要目标。然而，一些老年护理专业硕士毕业生的临床能力不足。本研究旨在探讨老年护理硕士毕业生临床能力发展的障碍和促进因素。
这是一项 2020 年进行的定性描述性研究。参与者为 20 名护理硕士学生、硕士毕业生和老年护理教师。他们是从伊朗德黑兰、伊斯法罕和卡尚的几所护理和助产学院中有意选择的。采用半结构式访谈收集数据，采用 Graneheim 和 Lundman 提出的常规内容分析法进行数据分析。数据使用 MAXQDA 10 软件进行管理。
临床能力发展的主要障碍是学生对学习的忽视、教育系统效率低下和管理不善。临床能力发展的主要促进因素是有效的教育规划和管理改进。
老年护理硕士毕业生临床能力发展存在不同的个人、教育和管理障碍和促进因素。需要对老年护理硕士学生和毕业生进行有效的教育规划和管理改进，以促进其临床能力发展。
