ABSTRACT

Objective To describe the post competency level and standardized training of new nurses in Guangzhou tertiary hospitals, and to explore the correlation between them. Methods By using the questionnaire method, 525 new nurses from 8 tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou were surveyed in June 2016 by convenience sampling, using the general information questionnaire, nursing competency questionnaire and standardized training status questionnaire of new nurses in Guangzhou tertiary hospitals. Results The competency level of new nurses in Guangzhou tertiary hospitals was 333.53 ± 46.96. The scores of standardized training level were 131.43±23.20. The scores of training management level, training content level and nurses′belief level were 28.30 ± 5.49, 59.07 ± 14.80, 44.06 ± 2.91. Competency level was positively correlated with standardized training level and each dimension with statistical significance (r=0.099-0.132, P<0.05). Conclusions The post competence of new nurses in Guangzhou tertiary hospitals is at the middle level, and the post competence of new nurses is positively correlated with the level of standardized training. Improving the level of standardized training of new nurses is helpful to enhance the post competence of new nurses. The level of standardized training management, management content and nurse belief can improve the post competence of new nurses.
