The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

7.1K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontological Nursing
  • Kinaesthetics in Healthcare
  • Professional Competence Development

Background:

  • Kinaesthetics training for nurses in elderly care lacks systematic theoretical description despite 25+ years of teaching.
  • Understanding nurses' competence in kinaesthetics is essential for effective elderly care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically describe the concept of nurses' competence in kinaesthetics.
  • To establish a theoretical and empirical foundation for this competence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a three-phase hybrid model for concept development (theoretical, empirical, analytical).
  • Conducted literature reviews (PubMed, CINAHL) and expert workshops.
  • Defined antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the concept.

Main Results:

  • Nurses' kinaesthetics competence is influenced by training and patient mobility needs.
  • Competence encompasses knowledge, skills, attitudes, and dynamic states.
  • Contributes to enhanced movement competence and well-being for patients and nurses.

Conclusions:

  • The concept can enhance awareness and communication in mobility-focused gerontological care.
  • An assessment instrument for nurses' kinaesthetics competence will be developed.
  • Further research is needed to evaluate the concept's consequences in practice.
