“…In the clinical situation, emergency care is filled with high-stress, quickly changing scenarios; nurses and other healthcare providers are expected to have competencies involving not just their own professional skills, but also the capability of using their skills as part of larger medical teams [3]. For nursing professionals in particular, whether they are working in hospital emergency rooms or at disaster sites, there is an expectation that they will be proficient in core nursing competencies.…”

“…Specifically, the expectation is that nurses will have the professional knowledge and skills needed to perform assessments of patients [4], while also being able to communicate with other team members to deal with various unexpected clinical issues such as chronic disease exacerbation or outbreaks of infectious diseases [5]. It is the combination of professional skills and collaborative teamwork that allows nurses, like other healthcare providers, to recognize, assess, and manage contingencies; help administer the proper kinds of care; and make appropriate ethical choices in the process [3,6].…”

Objective: The study intended to combine team-oriented, problem-based learning (PBL) with emergency-care simulation to investigate whether an integrative intervention could positively impact the core nursing competencies and teacher performance of nursing students. Methods: The study belonged to the domain of action research, which aimed to address the weaknesses of traditional teacher-led, lecture-based learning. An 18-week, single-case experimental design, in which 58 senior nursing students at a medical university in central Taiwan participated, was conducted to test the possible benefits of the intervention. The measures included the Scale of Core Nursing Competencies and the Teacher Performance Evaluation Scale. Results: The research results showed that nursing students who received integrative training that combined team-based PBL with emergency-care scenario simulation had stronger mastery over core nursing competencies. At the same time, they also evaluated both the “Emergency Care” course for which the curriculum was used and the teachers’ performance in that course more highly. Conclusions: The findings suggest that an integrative curriculum combining team-based PBL with scenario simulation is worth pursuing. Compared with traditional teacher-led, lecture-based teaching, this curriculum may be more effective in helping nursing students develop core competencies in their field.

“…Overall, APN competencies in the emergency and critical care environment have similarities to the practice standards of the ENP specialty (Campo et al, 2018), indicating that APNs are performing expected practices in emergency care. In addition, the International Council of Nurses (2020) and American Nurses Association (2010) defined the practice standards and nature of APNs as the ability to provide direct and indirect care, manage treatment, case management, advanced assessment and judgement, advanced clinical competencies, etc., which were defined as common to performing advanced practice nursing and acute patient care in this study.…”

AimAdvanced Practice Nurses are expected to provide lifesaving care to patients with complex acute illnesses in emergency and critical care settings. However, little is known about their competencies and barriers to practice in emergency and critical care settings. This review investigated these nurses' competencies to practice.MethodsA scoping review was conducted in accordance with Arksey and O′Malley's framework. Extensive research searches were conducted using seven electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Ichushi Web, Mednar and GreyNet International. Definitions and explanations of Advanced Practice Nurse competencies were categorized into elements and grouped according to similarity.ResultsThe database searches identified 2,483 studies, and data were extracted for 23 studies. Analysed studies were published between 2000 and 2021 and conducted in eight countries. Seven competencies were identified: performing advanced practice nursing, acute patient care, diagnostic assessment, interdisciplinary collaboration and consultation, leadership and system management, documenting patient care and supporting patient and family decision‐making.ConclusionThis review identified competencies unique to Advanced Practice Nurses in emergency and critical care settings. Further research is required to facilitate understanding of the crucial roles of advanced care nurses among healthcare providers.

“…In order to be prepared to face the complexities and challenges of medical care, nurses should be trained to be collaborative, practice-ready professionals, capable of working in interprofessional teams in order to improve the quality of medical care, and ensure patient safety (Huang and Wang, 2020). In the clinical situation, hospital care is filled with high-stress, quickly changing scenarios; nurses and other healthcare providers are expected to have competencies involving not just their own professional skills, but also the capability of using their skills as part of larger medical teams (Campo et al, 2018).…”

Background: Patient safety is a discipline in the healthcare sector that applies safety science methods toward the goal of achieving a trustworthy system of healthcare delivery. Aim of the study: to assess staff nurses' performance related to international patient safety goals (IPSGs). Subjects and Methods:The study was conducted in medical wards and critical care units of Ain Shams University Hospital. Research design: a descriptive design was used. It included 116 staff nurses. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire for knowledge and an observation checklist for practice. Results: Slightly more than one-third of staff nurses had satisfactory knowledge, with no significant difference, only four (3.4%) of the staff nurses had an adequate total practice of IPSGs, with no statistically significant difference Conclusion and Recommendations: knowledge and practices of staff nurses related to patient safety need to be improved. The study recommends intensive training in IPSGs for staff nurses using the" training approach, with periodic refreshing through workshops. Their practices should be closely supervised. Future research on the impact of staff nurses' training in IPSGs on patients' safety indicators.
