Abstract

Nurses need professional competencies for safe and effective care. In this regard, nursing informatics competence is a significant need for intensive care unit nurses. In this study, the Delphi method was used during four rounds. The participants included 30 panelists selected by purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis and descriptive statistics. During the rounds, the items were evaluated for importance, necessity, relevancy, and percentage of agreement. The findings of nursing informatics competencies in the intensive care units (ICU) were classified in three categories including basic computer skills (7 subcategories and 20 items), skills to use information management software (2 subcategories and 9 items), and specific nursing informatics skills (2 subcategories and 22 items).
