ABSTRACT
Objective@#To construct the objective and quantifiable model for evaluating clinical nurses' competency in hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.@*Methods@#From December 2016 to August 2017, preliminary formulation of evaluation indicators was constructed through semi-structured interviews, combined with literature analysis. 21 experts from five hospitals of Traditional Chinese Medicine and medical universities were selected using Delphi method for performing two rounds of consultations and weight assignment of indexes. Data was logged and processed using SPSS 16.0.@*Results@#The preliminary system of the competency model included four items of Level one and 20 items of Level two. The weight coefficients of the first level indicators were 0.260 9, 0.259 8, 0.257 0 and 0.222 4. The positive coefficients from consulations of experts were 100.00% and 95.24%, respectively. Authority coefficient was 0.88. The coefficients of variation were 0.092 3 to 0.162 8 and 0.043 0 to 0.182 7, respectively.@*Conclusions@#This model can provide guidance for the training objective of nurses' competency and serve as an instrument for hospital managers to evaluate nurses in hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct the objective and quantifiable model for evaluating clinical nurses' competency in hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Methods From December 2016 to August 2017, preliminary formulation of evaluation indicators was constructed through semi-structured interviews, combined with literature analysis. 21 experts from five hospitals of Traditional Chinese Medicine and medical universities were selected using Delphi method for performing two rounds of consultations and weight assignment of indexes. Data was logged and processed using SPSS 16.0. Results The preliminary system of the competency model included four items of Level one and 20 items of Level two. The weight coefficients of the first level indicators were 0.2609, 0.2598, 0.2570 and 0.2224. The positive coefficients from consulations of experts were 100 . 00％ and 95 . 24％, respectively . Authority coefficient was 0.88. The coefficients of variation were 0.0923 to 0.1628 and 0.0430 to 0.1827, respectively. Conclusions This model can provide guidance for the training objective of nurses' competency and serve as an instrument for hospital managers to evaluate nurses in hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.
