“…The role of the nurse manager included (a) patient nursing care management, (b) supervising staff providing care, (c) evaluating performance and development of staff competencies, (d) ability to create a safe and comfortable work environment. 9,19 According to Cottingham et al, mentoring programs could boost career development, professional development, increase competence and improve retention. [20][21][22] Nursing supervision was a process designed to develop leadership ability to deliver good professional health services.…”

Background: The clinical competence of nurses should be maintained to ensure patient safety. Competence is the integration of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Nurse competency also improves the quality of nursing care and reduces the incidence of missed nursing care. This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurses maintaining a nurse competence system in hospitals through continuing education.Design and Methods: The research method used was qualitative phenomenological research, and the data was collected through an in-depth interview which was consist of six participants.Results: The results of the research were 1). continuing professional development to maintain the competence, 2) credentialing system in the career ladder system, 3). missed care still occurred in the implementation of nursing services 4). Nurses had hopes that managers supported the efforts to maintain competence through continuing professional development.Conclusion: Nurse managers are expected to improve the supervision program to maintain clinical competence and decrease missed care.

“…Training programmes are necessary to guide the systematic planning process for learning how to build or increase the knowledge, skills and attitude for personnel in different organisations in order to meet the set goals (Sukanjanaporn, Sujiva, and Pasiphol 2015). The conceptual framework of Dickoff, James, and Wiedenbach (1968) was used to guide the researcher during the needs assessment to identify the gaps and challenges faced by the professional nurses so that the relevant content can be organised into the training programme.…”

Increasing urbanisation and rising unhealthy lifestyle risk factors are contributing to a growing diabetes epidemic worldwide. South Africa like many other countries is continually reporting an increase in the prevalence of diabetes. Education and training play an essential role in the provision of the quality of patient care. In this study, a conceptual framework based on the practice-oriented theory by Dickoff, James, and Wiedenbach was used to develop the training programme for professional nurses who care for patients with diabetes. The aim of this article was to describe a conceptual framework which guided the development of a training programme for the professional nurses who care for patients with diabetes. A mixed-method research design was used. The accessible population for this study consisted of professional nurses who care for patients with diabetes in the three Ga-Dikgale village clinics that are situated in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Purposive sampling was used. Both semi-structured and structured interviews were used to collect data for this study. Diverse levels of knowledge among professional nurses were identified where some professional nurses lack knowledge while others have knowledge related to diabetes. A lack of continuous training on care of patients with diabetes was also identified. Challenges related to patients’ socio-economic status, inadequate knowledge about diabetes, misconceptions, denial, and a lack of resources for patient care that leads to poor treatment outcomes led to a framework for a context-specific training programme. There is a need for a context-specific training programme for professional nurses who care for patients with diabetes which could improve patient care.

“…Successful benchmarking requires a structured approach (Asif, 2015). In this regard, alignment analysis is a commonly used method for benchmarking in education (Biggs, 1996; Webb, 1997b; Sukanjanaporn et al , 2015). When applied at the strategic level, alignment refers to how well policy elements in a system work together to guide instruction and student learning (Webb, 1997b).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a scalable quantitative approach to evaluate alignment within and between courses and programs in higher education for benchmarking purpose. Design/methodology/approach The revised Bloom’s taxonomy, which combines a cognitive process dimension and a knowledge dimension, is used as a basis for categorizing national standards, program and course learning outcomes (CLOs) and assessment methods. Alignments between programs and national standards, programs and courses and assessment tasks and courses are then measured using a series of Cohen’s κ statistics. Two undergraduate business programs offered at an Australian university were used as examples to demonstrate the proposed method as an alignment evaluation tool. Findings The findings reveal that the two sample programs are better aligned with national standards than with their respective constituent courses. The degree of alignment between CLOs and assessment methods varies from course to course within the programs. This might be related to the lack of clarity of some learning outcome statements and the complexity of certain assessment methods. Research limitations/implications This study lends insight into the use of an alignment mapping for benchmarking academic programs in higher education. To serve mainly as an illustration of the proposed approach, the case study is limited to two undergraduate business programs offered at the same university. Practical implications Universities can use the proposed approach to benchmark their academic programs against the national standards and similar programs offered by other competing educational institutions. The alignment indices can also serve as yardsticks to continuously improve the consistencies within and among academic programs to ensure quality. Originality/value The proposed method offers a consistent basis to compare the degrees of alignment of different higher education programs with national standards and their respective constituent courses, hence enabling benchmarking for continuous improvement. It also reveals how the alignment between different parameters in teaching and learning can be improved, thereby facilitating incremental learning and enhancing student performance.
