Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Lack of international consensus on advanced practice nursing (APN) roles and core competencies.
  • Limited APN role development and a short history of APN in the national context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate a competence framework for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) within the national context.
  • To achieve expert consensus on APN core competencies using the Delphi method.

Main Methods:

  • Preliminary literature review to identify 17 domains of competence.
  • Revision, refinement, and validation of competencies by expert panelists (clinicians, researchers, managers, teachers) through successive Delphi rounds.

Main Results:

  • A skills map was established, identifying specific competencies for advanced practice roles.
  • Key domains identified include Research and Evidence-Based Practice, Clinical and Professional Leadership, and Care Management.
  • Competencies were validated to be applicable across different regulatory and professional practice contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The defined set of skills establishes common competency standards for advanced practice nursing roles.
  • The framework serves as a reference for policy development, role review, and academic profile establishment for APNs.
