Abstract:
Objective: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: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: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 value 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:The established training curriculum targeting the core competences for neurosurgery nurses is reliable, which can provide a reference for standardized training of neurosurgery nurses.
