Abstract:
Objective:To construct and evaluate a training program for cardiovascular nurse specialists based on a core competency framework.Methods:Among 61 trainees participating in the first training class for cardiovascular nurse specialists organized by a provincial nursing society, a training program focusing on the nine core competencies for cardiovascular nurse specialists was implemented, which consisted of 4-week theoretical and 4-week practical training. The effectiveness of the training program was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick model. Data analyses were performed by using SPSS 26.0. Categorical data were presented as the number of cases; continuous variables in normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation; and continuous variables in non-normal distribution were presented as median (interquartile range) and compared using non-parametric tests.Results:At the reaction level, the satisfaction rates of trainees with the theoretical and practical sections of the training program were 98.36% (60/61) and 95.08% (58/61), respectively. At the learning level, the comprehensive assessment score of the trainees was (83.01±3.39) points, and all of them successfully obtained their completion certificates, with a pass rate of 100.00% (61/61). At the behavior level, the core competencies for cardiovascular nurse specialists were significantly improved after training [the total score increased from 291.00 (254.00, 334.25) to 410.50 (354.50, 433.00), P<0.001]. At the results level, at six months after training, there were significant increases in the number of participants engaging in cardiovascular care practices, clinical nursing education and guidance, leadership roles, and research projects within their units as well as the number of individuals achieving career advancement (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The trainees are highly satisfied with the core competency-focused cardiovascular nurse training program, which can improve core competencies and cardiovascular nursing capabilities, expand the scope of cardiovascular nursing services, and foster the sustained advancement of the participants.
