To maintain a high standard of quality nursing care the individual critical care nurse s competencies should be determined objectively. Few international guidelines describe the qualities required by critical care nurses to function effectively in a critical care unit. These guidelines often focus only on the education and training of critical care nurses.
To formulate and describe guidelines for the competency requirements of registered critical care nurses.
A focus group interview, a qualitative research method, was conducted as an open conversation in which each participant could ask questions, comment, or respond to comments. Interaction among the respondents was encouraged to stimulate in-depth discussion. The study was conducted within the framework of South African critical care nursing.
The four main categories that were identified are as follows: professional competence, cognitive competence, interpersonal skills, and critical care patterns of interaction. These are described in detail along with a formulated guideline for critical care nurse competency requirements.
This study describes an attempt to formulate objective guidelines for critical care nurses competency requirements.
为维持高质量护理标准，应客观确定重症监护护士个人的能力。很少有国际指南描述重症监护护士在重症监护病房有效工作所需的素质。这些指南往往只侧重于重症监护护士的教育和培训。
制定并描述注册重症监护护士能力要求的指南。
采用焦点小组访谈这一定性研究方法，以开放式对话形式进行，每位参与者都可以提问、发表评论或回应评论。鼓励受访者之间进行互动，以激发深入讨论。该研究在南非重症监护护理的框架内进行。
确定的四个主要类别如下：专业能力、认知能力、人际技能和重症监护互动模式。对这些类别进行了详细描述，并制定了重症监护护士能力要求指南。
本研究描述了为重症监护护士能力要求制定客观指南的尝试。
