Abstract:
Objective To construct a core competency evaluation system for geriatric comprehensive assessment nurses.
Methods The core competency of geriatric comprehensive assessment nurses was determined through literature review, behavioral event interviews and semi-structured interviews, and 15 experts related to geriatric care were invited to conduct three rounds of expert inquiry to collect the experts’ revision opinions. The importance score, authority coefficients, coordination coefficient, and the coefficient of variation were calculated.
Results The authority coefficients of the three rounds of correspondence experts were 0.90, 0.93 and 0.95. In the first round, 4 out of 6 primary indicators modified, 3 out of 14 secondary indicators modified, and 23 out of 87 third-level indicators modified. After second and third rounds expert inquiry, the final established core competency evaluation system for geriatric comprehensive assessment nurses includes 6 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 72 third-level indicators with importance scores 3.93~5.00, coordinnation coefficient 0.702~0.796, and coefficient of variation 0~0.130.
Conclusion The core competency evaluation system of the elderly comprehensive evaluation is scientific and reasonable, which can provide reference for the admission, training and assessment of geriatric comprehensive assessment nurses.
