Objective:To develop the Competency Assessment Questionnaire for Clinical Teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialist Nurses and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The first draft of the questionnaire was formed through literature review and expert consultation based on the competency theory. Convenience sampling was used to survey 218 clinical teachers of traditional Chinese medicine specialist nurses in 5 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces from June to July 2024 to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:The Competency Assessment Questionnaire for Clinical Teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialist Nurses contained 5 dimensions, including professionalism and personal attributes, professional knowledge and skills, clinical practice ability, clinical teaching ability, and research management ability, with a total of 35 items. The scale-level content validity index was 0.875. The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.974, the folded half reliability was 0.845, and the retest reliability was 0.912.Conclusions:The Competency Assessment Questionnaire for Clinical Teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialist Nurses has good reliability and validity, and can be used as a valid tool for evaluating the core competencies of clinical teachers of traditional Chinese medicine specialist nurses.

Objective:To construct a standardized training program for newly recruited nurses in Class ⅢGrade A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals based on the theory of post competency.Methods:From April to July 2020, the consultation questionnaire was developed on the basis of literature review and the expert group discussion. Through the Delphi method, two rounds of consultations were conducted with 20 experts from Class Ⅲ Grade A TCM hospitals and the university of TCM in Zhejiang Province to construct the standardized training program for newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals based on the post competency. The positive coefficient, the authority coefficient, and the coordination coefficient of the experts were calculated.Results:In the two rounds of consultations, the experts' positive coefficients were all 100%, and the authority coefficients were both 0.896, and the Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.177 and 0.215 respectively, ( P<0.01) . The final standardized training program for newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals based on the post competency included 5 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators, and 106 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The standardized training program for newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals based on the post competency is scientific and reliable, which has certain reference significance for the training and management of newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals.
