“…This review explored five developed instruments used to assess generalist nurses’ competency. These were the European Questionnaire Tool (EQT1 and EQT2; Cowan, Wilson‐Barnett, Norman, & Murrells, ), Competence Inventory for Registered Nurses (Liu, Kunaviktikul, Senaratana, Tonmukayakul, & Eriksen, ; Liu, Yin, Ma, Lo, & Zeng, ), Australian National Competency Standards for Registered Nurses (Andrew et al., ; Cowin, Hengstberger‐Sims, et al., ), Competence Scale for Senior Clinical Nurses (Akamine et al., ), and Holistic Nursing Competency Scale (Takase & Teraoka, ). The EQT1, EQT2, Competence Inventory for Registered Nurses, and Australian National Competency Standards for Registered Nurses were originally developed in the European Union and the countries of China and Australia, respectively.…”

“…Four of the instruments conducted construct validity testing by using the exploratory factor analysis method (Akamine et al., ; Cowan et al., ; Liu, Kunaviktikul, Senaratana, et al., ; Takase & Teraoka, ). In addition, construct validity testing by using confirmatory factor analysis was found in four studies (Akamine et al., ; Andrew et al., ; Liu et al., ; Takase & Teraoka, ), contrasted‐group validity testing was found in two studies (Akamine et al., ; Liu, Kunaviktikul, Senaratana, et al., ), convergent validity testing was found in one study (Andrew et al., ), and criterion‐related validity testing was found in two studies (Liu et al., ; Takase & Teraoka, ). All five developed instruments were evaluated by self‐report questionnaires.…”

“…This has not been reported in previous core competencies studies [22,43,44]. We recommend that more of these studies of the core competencies related to an organization's culture and development will be done in the future.…”

“…Several articles discuss the core competencies of nurses [20,21] and rehabilitation-related therapists [22] in the workplace. Nevertheless, no studies have provided evidence about effective recruitment based on the relevant core competencies in healthcare settings or using these core competencies for nurse selection, staffing, or career development before recruitment.…”

Objectives:To investigate what types of core competencies predict nurse job performance in a hospital. Methods:We used the "Nine Competencies Star" competency survey system, developed by the 1111 Job Bank in Taipei, to evaluate 1855 nurses from 3 hospitals in southern Taiwan. A t test was used to examine the mean differences between the 15 core competencies and demographic variables. Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the number of factors. Path analysis was used to search for factors that affected nurse job performance in a hospital. Results:The core competencies of the nurses were team cohesion and customer (patient) relationships superior to the public norm. Four factors (teamwork, independence, communication, sympathy) were found and extracted from the 15 studied core competencies. The teamwork property alone predicts nurse job performance in a hospital. However, its predictive effect explains only 3% of the variance. Conclusions:The explicit core components should be periodically surveyed for healthcare workers to investigate whether the assessment of employee job performance has been closely associated with hospital policy that is beneficial both to the organization and to all of the patients.

“…Several authors have commented on methodological flaws in competency studies and these are heeded in this study. An earlier systematic review (Watson et al, 2002) and a more recent critique (Liu et al, 2007) showed that most of the methods used in previous studies to measure competence were not developed systematically and the validity, reliability and sampling of the existing instruments were challenged (Andrew et al, 2008;Jirwe et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2007;Watson et al, 2002). Regardless of the various routes used to develop competency frameworks, subjects only included nurses or nursing experts (but not the recipients of care) as research informants, and typically applied the Delphi technique to reach a consensus on themes.…”
