|
|
Purpose: This study was done to provide basic data for developing an in-service education program to improve nurses’ quality. First, frequency of nursing activities and competency levels of emergency nurses according to their career
ladders were compared through job analysis and then practical education programs were presented on based of the
results.
Methods: Data were collected from 335 nurses working in emergency rooms in 31 tertiary hospitals. Data
collection was done from September to November 2005 using the job analysis questionnaire.
Results: There were 41 nursing activities that showed differences in frequency and 78 activities that showed differences in perceived competency level. Irrespective of emergency nurses’ careers, activities that show high frequency but low competency were sputum liquefying therapy, assessment of cranial nerve function, identification of diagnostic radiology, and communication with various departments. In-service education content according to nurse’s career ladders was presented by adding high frequency nursing activities and activities with low competency level even though having high frequency.
Conclusions: There is a need to develop and provide in-service education programs, which consider nurses’ difference in frequency and competency level for their career ladders.
