Learning Objective 1: The learner will be able to realize of nurse practitioners assessemt approaches
Learning Objective 2: The learner will be able to evaluating the competence of nurse practitioners different assessment approaches among peer assessment, superior assessment and self-assessmen.
Methods: The research design was a cross-sectional study design and subjects were selected by using stratified random sampling at teaching hospital in eastern Taiwan. A structured-questionnaire, Nurses Practitioners Competencies Questionnaire, was completed by 211 participants with a response rate 88%
Results: The finding indicated that the level of competence was moderate (the mean score was 3.45 out of a possible score of 5; SD = 0.59). Among five dimensions of professional competence, the highest score was noted for “direct patients care”; then was in “communication and collaboration” (M± SD =3.54 ± 0.77)”, and the lowest score was in “Patient care quality monitor”. Among three different assessment approaches, the highest score was in peer assessment by physicians and lowest in head nurse supervisor assessment. These assessment approaches were significantly different in those five dimensions of competence.
Conclusion: Based on our findings, we suggest that evaluating the competence of nurse practitioners should use different assessment approaches and hope to ensure competencies to implement on the clinical practice and improve the quality of care
