“…The lowest levels were Therapeutic interventions and Ensuring quality. The tendency of competence settling in this way is supported by several earlier studies, [15,16,18,41] but there is also variation between studies concerning the order of highest and lowest score categories. [17,19,22,28] It could be considered as a positive finding that the item level score differences between the groups were smallest, practically negligible, in basic elements of nursing care, such as ethically committed, direct and individualised patient care.…”

“…Cronbach's alpha values for internal consistency have ranged from .72-to .96. [10,14,15,[17][18][19][20][21][27][28][29] In each item of the NCS, nurses assess both the quality and frequency of action. To assess the quality of action nurses use Visual Analogy Scale (VAS) from 0-100.…”

“…In earlier studies nurse's self-assessed competence has varied according to nurses' age and work experience, education, personal characteristics, clinical context, organization, and care climate and culture. [13,15,[18][19][20][21] There are also differences in managers' competence. [22] Effective and competent managers have an essential impact on nurses' overall work performance and motivation to provide care.…”

Background/objective: Nurse managers have an important impact on nurses' competence. However, research on managers' and nurses' competence assessments using the same criteria is scarce. For quality care it is important that these assessments align. This study compared nurses' and their managers' competence assessments. Methods:A cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative correlation design was applied. Participants were 1656 manager-nurse pairs conducting self-assessments and manager assessments respectively in a university hospital in Finland. The Nurse Competence Scale which measures nurses' generic level professional competence was used to collect the data. Means, range, frequencies, and standard deviations, and Mixed Models with Repeated Measures were used in data analysis.Results: Both managers and nurses assessed the competence level as good, but managers assessed the level significantly higher than nurses themselves. However, the overall competence profiles between the groups aligned. Higher competence level and smaller Visual Analogy Scale (VAS) score differences between the groups were related to individualized patient care, and ethically committed and flexible action in care situations. Lower competence level and bigger VAS score differences between groups concerned consultation, guiding, and evaluation activities within care team, developmental tasks, and use of research knowledge.Conclusions: Although the difference between managers' and nurses' competence assessments was significant in favour of managers, there is a strong congruence between the groups concerning core tasks of nursing. Competences with low scores, differences between groups, management's support, and factors influencing competence need further research for planning interventions to enhance competence development. Use of multiple assessment methods is recommended to add validity and reliability of the measurements.

“…Therefore, we identify a need for collaboration between all of the nursing educators for clinical training of students and using the studentcentered models. But the results of a cross-sectional study by Salonen et al 41 in relation to the clinical competency of Finnish novice nurse's and factors affecting it showed, fair to good level of clinical competence which was different from the findings of the current study. Reasons for these differences may include using a different instrument, the study samples and that the nurse's had a higher level of experiences.…”

Clinical nursing competence in mental health is one of the most Background: important topics in theoretical and practical nursing training with many factors affecting it. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the implementation of the "mental health nursing students' clinical competence model" on nursing students' academic performance.: This study is a semi experimental following one group of student Methods nurses. "mental health nursing students' clinical competence model" for undergraduate nursing student's education was applied. The study population included 50 nursing students, who were studying from fifth semester to seventh semester and selected through census sampling. During the seventh semester after the completion of theoretical and practical courses in mental health nursing, re-evaluation was conducted and the scores before and after the implementation of the clinical competence model were compared.Rate of clinical competency before the intervention, was estimated at Results: the level of non-mastered; and after intervention was at the level of mastered, demonstrating a significant difference (p<0.001). Areas of clinical competency scores before and after the intervention were compared which showed significant difference in all the areas except the mental competency areas (p<0.05).The implementation of the "mental health nursing students' Conclusions: clinical competence model" and appropriate planning for achievement of mental health nursing specialized competency can ensure the achievement of clinical competency by nursing students.

“…Alguns relatam que os enfermeiros recém-formados classificam-se num nível mais elevado de competência do que o esperado pelos enfermeiros seniores (O'Connor et al, 2001) e que o seu nível de competência é de bom ou muito bom (Löfmark et al 2006). Os estudos de Meretoja et al (2004), Salonen et al (2007), HengstbergerSims et al (2008) Os resultados apresentados merecem uma reflexão. Dos estudos realizados com enfermeiros portugueses, sabemos que a idade está associada aos anos de experiência profissional, uma vez que, ao contrário do que se passa noutros países da União Europeia, em Portugal a licenciatura em enfermagem raramente é procurada num momento mais avançado da vida.…”

RESUMOTal como noutras profissões, também na Enfermagem o conceito de competência tem sido amplamente discutido, embora ainda não se tenha chegado a um entendimento comum ou uma definição É entendida como um elemento-chave na qualidade e na segurança. Por razões que se prendem com questões relacionadas com a qualidade dos cuidados e a segurança dos pacientes, adicionado à escassez global de profissionais de enfermagem qualificados, o interesse na competência dos enfermeiros tem aumentado.O objetivo central do estudo é o de mostrar a relevância e a importância das competências profissionais dos enfermeiros portugueses, sendo os objetivos específicos: conhecer o nível de competência profissional dos enfermeiros portugueses; relacionar variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais com as dimensões da escala de competência do enfermeiro; identificar o nível de competências profissionais dos enfermeiros nas áreas de desenvolvimento profissional e nas necessidades formativas.Desenvolveu-se um estudo de natureza quantitativa, descritivo-correlacional, tratando-se de uma investigação por questionário, A amostra é constituída por 1164 enfermeiros.Como resultados principais aponta-se que os enfermeiros portugueses avaliam a sua competência em níveis elevados de competência profissional e que várias varáveis influenciam essa avaliação.Palavras-chave: competência profissional, competência do enfermeiro, Nurse Competence Scale. ABSTRACTLike other professions, also in nursing the concept of competence has been widely discussed, but has not yet reached a common understanding or definition is seen as a key element in quality
