Developing a certificate course for hospice nurses: a Delphi survey of subject areas
Abstract:
A Delphi survey of 16 national experts in hospice nursing was conducted to address which subject areas were the most important to include in a certification course for hospice nurses. The three-round survey elicited 70 subject areas which were ranked in order of importance according to the group opinion of the panel of experts. The means, average deviations, standard deviations, and variances for each rank were calculated. The panel showed a high degree of consensus and there was little change in ranking after the second round. The survey produced results that should be of interest to organizations concerned with developing certification courses and examination procedures for hospice nurses.
