RNs invited to take part in research exploring competence-based assessments


Existing literature highlights various frameworks and methods for evaluating nursing competence, emphasising the importance of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Notable advancements include the integration of competency-based education and the development of structured assessment tools, which have enhanced the standardisation and reliability of evaluations. But gaps remain, particularly regarding specific factors that influence competence assessment outcomes such as institutional support and individual learning experiences.

The project aims to address the gaps by evaluating how current competence assessments are perceived and how they reflect the actual skills and abilities of nurses according to the users. By doing so, researchers aim to improve the assessment process, ultimately enhancing the quality of nursing education and practice and benefiting nurses, patients, and the healthcare system.

Participation involves completing an online survey that will take up to 15 minutes.
