Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Public Health Nursing
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Public health nursing (PHN) competencies guide curriculum development.
  • Existing competencies may not fully encompass broader community health definitions.
  • The need to evaluate applicability to diverse community-based specialties is recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess the alignment between Quad Council PHN competencies and four community-based specialties.
  • Determine the suitability of a Quad Council-based curriculum for preparing graduates in these specialties.
  • Identify any gaps in competencies for home health, occupational health, environmental health, and school nursing.

Main Methods:

  • A multistep competency cross-mapping project was conducted.
  • The Quad Council competencies were compared with competencies of four community-based specialties.
  • Validation was performed with practice leaders in the respective fields.

Main Results:

  • Strong alignment was found between Quad Council competencies and the community-based specialties.
  • Specific content areas requiring attention for specialty preparation were identified.
  • Didactic and clinical strategies were proposed to address identified competency gaps.

Conclusions:

  • A Quad Council-based curriculum is appropriate for preparing nurses in community-based specialties.
  • Integration of specialty-specific competencies within clinical settings is crucial.
  • This framework supports the development of a Doctorate of Nursing Practice curriculum in PHN.
