Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Professions Education

Background:

  • The absence of a detailed competency framework for advanced practice nurses (APNs) in Belgium hinders legal recognition, role clarification, and practical implementation.
  • A structured framework is crucial for guiding APN education, mentorship, and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive competency framework for advanced practice nurses in Belgium.
  • To provide guidance for APN education, professional development, and legal recognition.

Main Methods:

  • A co-design process was employed, involving literature review and two stages of development.
  • Stage 1: Literature-based framework development by the research team.
  • Stage 2: Group discussions and interviews with 117 key stakeholders, including feedback collection.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive competency framework was developed, featuring 31 key and 120 enabling competencies, based on the Canadian Medical Education Directions for Specialists Competency Framework.
  • These competencies are organized into seven roles: clinical expert and therapist, organizer of quality care and leader in innovation, professional and clinical leader, collaborator, researcher, communicator, and health promoter.
  • The framework emphasizes the independent role and clinical autonomy of APNs.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework aligns with international standards and emphasizes the distinct role of APNs.
  • It offers guidance for task division, delegation, and delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
  • The framework serves as a foundation for APN education, professional development, performance appraisal, and informing policy for legal recognition in Belgium.
