Objective:
To map out and validate the core competencies for the training of advanced practice nurses in oncology.
Methods:
Exploratory-descriptive research with a quantitative approach using the Delphi technique. Initially, a matrix composed of six domains outlining 112 core competencies of the clinical nurse specialist in oncology was elaborated. The Likert scale was used to measure the degree of agreement. Data collection took place through the Google Forms® platform from February to May 2021. Data were compiled and analyzed based on expert suggestions and literature.
Results:
100 competencies achieved consensus (agreement level above 85.7%) in the first round; 13 new competencies were proposed by expert members; and 125 were validated during the Delphi technique.
Conclusion:
The mapping and validation of core competencies will allow the development of new training models aimed at advanced practice in oncology and future educational harmonization.
