Area of Science:

  • Advanced Practice Nursing Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Healthcare Workforce Training

Background:

  • Competency-based education (CBE) is recommended for nurse practitioner (NP) programs.
  • Existing NP core competencies require reduction and refinement for effective CBE implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refine and reduce redundancy in NP core competencies from NONPF and AACN using expert consensus.
  • To ensure the final competencies are clear, measurable, and suitable for curriculum development.
  • To establish a foundational document for NP program accreditation and educational standards.

Main Methods:

  • A Delphi methodology was employed with an expert panel.
  • Online questionnaires facilitated expert review and consensus-building.
  • Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used for data evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Consensus on NP core competencies was achieved after three rounds of review.
  • The study resulted in a refined list of 49 final core competencies.
  • The identified competencies are relevant, clear, and measurable.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a practical, reduced set of NP core competencies for educational use.
  • This list supports the implementation of competency-based education in NP programs.
  • The refined competencies enhance the clarity and measurability of NP education standards.
