“…It was a complex process because it was a pioneering study in Brazil, focusing on the professional competence of nurses in emergency services, with the search for a consensus of experts about the proposed actions, using the Delphi Technique. However, creating professional competencies for nurses to work in Emergency Services is a recent process not only in Brazil, but also in other countries (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) .…”

“…A study conducted in the United States on the competencies of nurses in the emergency area, different of the current proposal due to the peculiarities inherent in the country, also used the Delphi Technique to verify and obtain consensus. The three stages of the Delphi study were conducted with a national sample of emergency care nurses who rated the importance and frequency of performance for each competence and skill listed in the electronic questionnaire sent out and suggested a redesign of the content proposed by Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Nurse Practitioner Validation Work Team (14)(15) . The content of the Identifying Issues submitted to the verification process of the validity evidence in this study was always intended to represent the Brazilian reality.…”

Objective: To verify the evidence of content validity of the Identifying Issues (Identification questions) elaborated from the theoretical-logical model of the Matrix and the Profile of Professional Competence of the emergency nurse. Method: Descriptive and methodological study of a quantitative approach with a psychometric reference as a precursor in the elaboration of a measurement instrument for the evaluation of competencies. The study was conducted in 2013 in Brazil, with a national sample of nurses specialized in emergency services and/or with professional competence in the area. Three stages were considered: questionnaire development; data collection with Delphi, appropriate statistics for Likert; and interpretative analysis of the comments/suggestions of the analyzed issues. Results: Delphi was used in four stages. There were minor adjustments to the content and inclusion of a new Competence. They obtained 90% of Score Percentage and 98.61 of Content Validity Index. Conclusion: There was consensus among the experts and the research demonstrated evidence of content validity, suggesting pertinence and adequacy to represent the constructs of competencies.

“…This gap may contribute to the variability and ambiguity in the definitions of roles and responsibilities (Gardner et al 2013). Other APN competency developments exist, but they are either very generic (Nieminen et al 2011) or are confined to specific roles or contexts (Lewandowski & Adamle 2009;Sue et al 2010). Additionally, there is no nursing competency review specifically devoted to the role of advanced practice, as is the case in general nursing (Putra & Petpichetchian 2011;Traynor et al 2011).…”

Background:Nursing as a clinical discipline is developing in the emergency wards. Health care systems should continuously assess and prioritize indicators of clinical competency in these wards. The lack of clear standards of clinical competency indicators challenges evaluation. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical competency indicators and its priority based on nurses' views in educational and therapeutic centers in Guilan.Materials and Methods:The Q methodology was conducted in three phases, that is, phase I (determining the clinical competency indicators), phase II (classifying clinical competency indicators by an expert panel), and phase III (prioritizing clinical competency indicators). The subjects were selected by convenience sampling among nurses working in the emergency wards of teaching hospitals affiliated to Guilan in 2013. Finally, clinical competency indicators were prioritized using exploratory factor analysis.Results:In the prioritizing phase, data were collected from 710 nurses over two months. Five factors with 30 general competencies were found in three domains: communication, professional maturity, and personality characteristics. Six factors with 37 specific competencies were also found in two domains: scientific and technical capabilities and basic clinical skills that can provide a structured instrument for assessing clinical competence in emergency nurses.Conclusions:Achieved competencies can be used as a reference for nursing education and practice in emergency. Further research on health care system is needed in order to achieve a reliable and valid instrument.
