Each country has unique challenges related to health policy for advanced practice nursing roles. International nursing organizations have established programmes for regulation development; however, a stronger focus on monitoring regulation and more effective dissemination of information about available supports may have a bigger impact on the development and revision of health policy related to advanced practice nursing.

Purpose: Nurse practitioners (NPs) are increasingly important in healthcare as they play a key role in leading advanced nursing practices. Assessing their professional competence is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate NPs' professional competencies based on at a collaborative model around NP self and compare different methods of assessment. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, and a purposive sample of 211 participants in the teaching hospital was used. Methods used were self-assessment (nurse practitioners), peer assessment (physicians and nurses) and supervisor assessment (head nurses). Results: The competence of nurse practitioners was rated as moderate (mean score ¼ 3.45 of a possible 5; SD ¼ 0.59). However, each method resulted in differences in competence for total scores and dimensions. The highest competence was in direct patient care (mean ¼ 3.55, SD ¼ 0.53), and the lowest score was in monitoring the quality of patient care (mean ¼ 3.30, SD ¼ 0.82). post hoc analysis shown that supervisor assessment rated professional competence significantly lower than the method of selfassessment and peer assessment (F ¼ 10.07, p < .001). Conclusion:NPs require an increased effort to continuous learning for enhancing professional competencies. Moreover, using multiple methods for assessment to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate evaluation of NPs' professional competence.

Background and purpose The purpose of the article is to clarify and describe nurse practitioner (NP) scope‐of‐practice regulations, including the process of establishing the regulations, and the concepts of supervision, collaboration, and protocol as well as to illustrate the positive impact of NPs in Taiwan. Methods A literature review was conducted to understand physician involvement, NP scope of practice, and written practice protocol. A simultaneous review of authoritative regulations, related to local statutes and regulations in the United States, was conducted. Conclusions After the Legislative Yuan approved an amendment of NP scope of practice on August 5, 2014, NPs can practice legally, with statute protection. These scope‐of‐practice regulations, developed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the concept of physician supervision and written practice protocol represent a significant advance for NPs in Taiwan. Implications for practice We believe that establishing NP scope‐of‐practice regulations can result in the optimal development of this new role and improve quality of care. By sharing our milestones, from statute to regulations of the NP scope of practice, other countries that are in the process of developing the NP role can draw on our experience to establish their local regulations.
