Ensuring nurse competency is crucial for patient safety. Research is underway to validate that professional certification, like that from the Certification Board Perioperative Nursing (CBPN), demonstrates a registered nurse's competence.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Administration
  • Professional Credentialing

Background:

  • Registered professional nurses have an obligation to provide competent patient care.
  • Healthcare organizations must demonstrate nurse competency to accrediting bodies like the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO).
  • Defining and assessing nursing competency is complex, with various methods like simulations and examinations available.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore methods for assessing and maintaining nursing competency.
  • To validate that professional certification, specifically from the Certification Board Perioperative Nursing (CBPN), is an indicator of nursing competence.
  • To quantify the value and examine the outcomes associated with certified nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing competency assessment methods (self-assessment, examinations, simulations).
  • Focus on certification and portfolio completion as indicators of ongoing competency maintenance.
  • Commitment by the CBPN research committee and the Nurse Credentialing Research Coalition (NCRC) to conduct research validating certification.

    • Main Results:

    • Certification and portfolio completion are recognized pathways for demonstrating ongoing competency in perioperative nursing.
    • Research is ongoing to validate the link between certification and demonstrated nursing competence.
    • The value and outcomes of certified nurses are being investigated.

    Conclusions:

    • Professional certification is a key method for nurses to demonstrate and maintain competency.
    • Further research is essential to provide assurance of competence for certified registered nurses.
    • Collaboration between credentialing bodies and research coalitions is vital for advancing the understanding of nursing competence.
