“…From the head nurses' perspectives, the highest clinical competence is related to the management of clinical situations, while the lowest competencies are related to support and assistance and quality assurance [18]. In terms of managing clinical situations, the results presented here are consistent with those of Saeb (2016) [8,15]. This contradiction in our study may be due to the novice nurses' low levels of experience from the head nurses' perspective.…”

Abstract Background: Clinical competency is the ability of nurses to play a professional role in a clinical environment, especially in an emergency department, in terms of the quality of the services provided. The present study aimed to compare the clinical competence of emergency department nurses using self-assessments and evaluations by head nurses. Method: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted from July to September 2017. The census method was used to select 70 nurses working in the emergency departments of three hospitals. Data was collected by using self-assessment questionnaires and evaluations by head nurses. The instrument was a clinical competency questionnaire with questions related to seven functional fields and 63 skills. The data obtained from descriptive and inferential statistics were analyzed by SPSS-16. Result: The viewpoints of nurses and head nurses on the clinical competencies of nurses were assessed as being at a moderate level in the majority of domains. Nurses defined their clinical competencies at a significantly higher level than the head nurses (P<0.05). Conclusion: The periodic assessment of emergency nurses, as a critical part of the hospital, can guide nursing managers to pay attention to professional competence and promote continuing education programs for improving their competencies.

Background: Clinical competency is the ability of nurses to play a professional role in a clinical environment, in terms of the quality of the services provided. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the clinical competence of emergency department nurses using self-assessments and evaluations by head nurses. Methods: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted from July to September 2019. The census method was used to select 70 nurses working in the emergency departments of three hospitals. Data was collected by using self-assessment questionnaires and evaluations by head nurses. The instrument was a clinical competency questionnaire with questions related to seven functional fields and 73 skills. Results: The viewpoints of nurses and head nurses on the clinical competencies of nurses were assessed at a moderate level in the majority of domains. Nurses defined their clinical competencies at a significantly higher level than the head nurses (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results, it is assumed that using more than one method and simultaneously applying multiple methods in an assessment will provide more accurate results about nurses’ clinical competence.

BACKGROUND: One of the most important steps in increasing the nurses’ professional competence and consequently improving the quality of nursing care is to evaluate nurses’ clinical competency and then take effective actions to enhance it. This study aimed at exploring the clinical competence of Iranian nurses and factors related to it. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Information Database, and Iranmedex databases and Google Scholar search engine were searched to February 14, 2020. RESULTS: After screening, a total of 25 articles were included. In general, the level of clinical competence of Iranian nurses was at a desirable level. After meta-analysis of the mean score of nurses’ clinical competence, the combined mean was 161.13 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 137.78–184.48; P < 0.001; I 2 = 99.8%; P value for heterogeneity = P < 0.001) by the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN) questionnaire. The summarized mean of clinical competency measured by the Nurse Competence Scale (NCS) questionnaire was 70.75 (95% CI: 60.80–80.70; P < 0.001; I 2 = 99.9%; P value for heterogeneity = P < 0.001). Factors affecting nurses’ clinical competence were age ≥33 years, nursing work experience ≥9 years, and a master's degree in nursing. However, the clinical competence of nurses had a significant negative relationship with job stress. CONCLUSION: The level of clinical competence of Iranian nurses was desirable. Studies that used the CIRN, reported the highest and lowest clinical competence in clinical care and professional development dimensions, respectively. Studies that used the NCS, reported the highest and lowest clinical competence in dimensions of work role and ensuring quality, respectively.
