Application of a training program system centered on job competency in the standardized training of new nurses
摘要
This study investigates the effectiveness of a job competency-centered training system for newly hired nurses during their induction training.
MethodsThe control group included 41 nurses who underwent traditional teaching models from 2020 to 2021. The observation group consisted of 39 nurses trained from 2022 to 2024, focusing on job competency. This training covered basic theoretical knowledge, operational skills, professional conduct, communication, emergency response, and comprehensive nursing care skills. Post-training evaluations included competency, theoretical and practical examination scores, Nursing-Mini-CEX excellence rates, patient satisfaction, and humanistic care abilities.
ResultsThe observation group achieved higher scores across all assessment areas compared to the control group. Theoretical examination scores were (95.987 ± 2.129) vs. (94.756 ± 2.773), practical scores were (96.987 ± 1.254) vs. (95.902 ± 1.855), and comprehensive scores were (96.487 ± 1.234) vs. (95.329 ± 1.841). Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) scores were (8.795 ± 0.409) for the observation group and (8.439 ± 0.594) for the control group. In job competency dimensions, the observation group scored: professional quality (10), general work capability (34.718 ± 0.916), communication and coordination (13.949 ± 0.605), proactive management (13.974 ± 0.778), patient safety (14.128 ± 0.767), health education (8.564 ± 0.552), and overall competency (95.333 ± 1.420). Conversely, the control group scored: professional quality (10), general work capability (34.268 ± 0.708), communication and coordination (13.634 ± 0.733), proactive management (13.634 ± 0.733), patient safety (13.780 ± 0.725), health education (8.293 ± 0.599), and overall competency (93.610 ± 1.481). For humanistic care ability, the observation group had cognitive (66.41 ± 3.362), courage (65.923 ± 3.115), and patience dimensions (60.308 ± 3.686), totaling (192.641 ± 5.451). The control group’s scores were cognitive (64.488 ± 3.543), courage (64.317 ± 3.446), and patience (57.902 ± 5.004), totaling (186.707 ± 8.143). Patient satisfaction rates were 100% in the observation group and 95.12% in the control group. Nurses trained under the competency-based model showed significant enhancements in job competency, patient satisfaction, and humanistic care compared to those trained under traditional methods.
ConclusionThe job competency-centered induction training model significantly enhances new nurses’ job competence, theoretical and practical assessment scores, humanistic care abilities, and patient satisfaction compared to traditional models.
