Objective:To construct a scientific and objective competency index system for clinical research nurse,providing a reference for establishing a systematic and specialized training system.Methods:A preliminary framework and corresponding indicators for the competency of clinical research nurse were developed through literature analysis with the guidance of the iceberg model.The expert meeting method was utilized to determine the framework,and the Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process were employed to screen indicators and calculate weights.Finally,the competency index system for clinical research nurses was established.Results:In this research,9 experts participated in the expert meeting,confirming that this competency framework consists of two dimensions:knowledge skills and self-concept.The knowledge and skills dimension encompasses five roles of clinical research nurses,and based on this,four levels were further divided.In addition,the self-concept dimension is divided into three aspects.A panel of 17 experts was selected to evaluate these indicators through two Delphi rounds.The effective response rates were 100%and 88.2%,respectively.The expert authority coefficients were 0.968 and 0.963,respectively,while the Kendall's coefficient of concordance were 0.244 and 0.403,respectively(P<0.001).In the end,87 indicators for clinical research nurse competency were developed.Conclusion:Under the guidance of the iceberg model,the competency index system for clinical research nurse constructed in this study is scientific and reliable,closely aligned with clinical practice,and possesses specialized characteristics.It can be used to evaluate the competencies of clinical research nurses and provides a basis for conducting relevant training and improving position management.
