OBJECTIVE
The Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) credential independently validates a registered nurse's advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities in the unique specialty of flight nursing. Introduced in 1993 and celebrating its 30th anniversary in July 2023, the CFRN is held by over 5,500 registered nurses. The purpose of the 2022 CFRN pulse survey was to better understand the ways CFRN-certified registered nurses value this national flight nursing specialty credential. The CFRN survey is a companion to the 2022 Certified Transport Registered Nurse pulse survey, which focused on the Certified Transport Registered Nurse critical care ground transport nursing credential.
METHODS
The Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing e-mailed individuals in its database of CFRN credential holders and asked them to respond to a 14-question online survey between October 17, 2022, and November 8, 2022. Participation in the survey was voluntary. Of the 5,275 verified CFRN holders who received the survey, 992 responded, for a response rate of 18.8%. The survey instrument included discrete field and open-ended questions. Data were deidentified for analysis, and institutional review board exemption was received. Counts and percentages were reported, and descriptive statistics were used.
RESULTS
The highest percentage of flight nurses who responded have more than 10 years of experience in flight nursing (35.3%) and are employed by a stand-alone transport program (42.7%). Flight nurses reported they spent a mean of 70% of their work hours transporting via rotor wing aircraft, with a predominantly adult patient population. The top perceived benefits of being a CFRN-certified nurse were a sense of accomplishment and pride (90.7%) followed by flight physiology knowledge (85.4%), flight nursing clinical knowledge (83.4%), and confidence as a flight nurse (80.6%).
CONCLUSION
The 2022 CFRN pulse survey identified current CFRN demographics, practice environments including transport percentage by mode and patient population types, and perceived benefits of the CFRN credential. The findings suggest CFRNs are very experienced, provide care for patients across the age continuum, and perceive multiple intrinsic and extrinsic benefits of CFRN certification, all of which are essential to safe, evidence-based advanced nursing practice in the unique, complex, autonomous, and dynamic flight environment.
目的
注册飞行护士（CFRN）认证独立验证了注册护士在飞行护理这一独特专业领域的高级知识、技能和能力。该认证于 1993 年推出，2023 年 7 月迎来 30 周年纪念，目前已有超过 5500 名注册护士持有该证书。2022 年 CFRN 脉搏调查的目的是更好地了解持有 CFRN 认证的注册护士对这一全国性飞行护理专业认证的重视程度。CFRN 调查是 2022 年认证运输注册护士脉搏调查的补充，后者侧重于认证运输注册护士关键的地面运输护理证书。
方法
紧急护理认证委员会通过电子邮件向其 CFRN 证书持有者数据库中的个人发送信息，并邀请他们在 2022 年 10 月 17 日至 11 月 8 日之间回复一份 14 个问题的在线调查。参与调查是自愿的。在收到调查的 5275 名经核实的 CFRN 持证人中，有 992 人做出了回应，回应率为 18.8%。调查工具包括离散字段和开放式问题。数据经过去识别处理用于分析，并获得机构审查委员会豁免。报告了计数和百分比，并使用描述性统计数据。
结果
回应调查的飞行护士中，工作经验超过 10 年的比例最高（35.3%），且大多数人在独立的运输项目中工作（42.7%）。飞行护士报告说，他们平均有 70%的工作时间用于通过旋翼飞机进行运输，主要的患者人群为成年人。成为 CFRN 认证护士的最大好处是有成就感和自豪感（90.7%），其次是飞行生理学知识（85.4%）、飞行护理临床知识（83.4%）和作为飞行护士的信心（80.6%）。
结论
2022 年 CFRN 脉搏调查确定了当前 CFRN 的人口统计学数据、实践环境，包括按模式和患者人群类型进行的运输百分比，以及 CFRN 证书的感知益处。调查结果表明，CFRN 经验丰富，为跨越年龄范围的患者提供护理，并认为 CFRN 认证具有多种内在和外在的好处，所有这些都是在独特、复杂、自主和动态的飞行环境中进行安全、基于证据的高级护理实践的关键。
