Development of a training curriculum targeting the core competences of neurosurgery nurses
To develop a training curriculum targeting the core competences of neurosurgery nurses
so as to provide a reference for standardized training of neurosurgery nurses and to strengthen their professionality.
Methods
2
Centering on the core competences required for neurosurgery nurses
we formed the curriculum framework based on the cell structure-inspired concept proposed by the School of Nursing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
and determined the contents through a literature analysis and two rounds of questionnaire-based Delphi consultations with 16 experts. We increased
reduced
or modified the items and dimensions
and finally estabilished the curriculum for neurosurgery nurse training. SPSS 18.0 software was used to analyze the general information of experts
coordination coefficient
variation coefficient
full mark ratio
and mean importance value. Categorical data were described as frequencies and percentages
and continuous data were described as mean±standard deviation. Ranked data were analyzed by using the chi-square test.
Results
2
In the two rounds of expert consultations
questionnaires were both 100.00% returned
and the coefficients of expert authority were 0.873 and 0.888
respectively. The coordination coefficient of curriculum modules and curriculum contents were 0.416 and 0.221
respectively (
P
<
0.001). For individual items across the curriculum modules
the mean importance v
alue was 3.188-3.938
the variation coefficient was 0.063-0.178
and the full mark ratio was 0.250-0.875. For content items
the mean importance value was 3.250-4.000
the variation coefficient was 0-0.238
and the full mark ratio was 0.375-1.000. The established clinical practice-directed curriculum for neurosurgery nursing training included 6 course modules (anatomy and physiology of the nervous system
neurosurgery patient evaluation and monitoring
neurosurgery disease nursing
commonly used neurosurgery nursing techniques
nursing management
and scientific research basis) and 77 content items.
Conclusions
2
The established training curriculum targeting the core competences for neurosurgery nurses is reliable
which can provide a reference for standardized training of neurosurgery nurses.
