Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Competency Standards
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Global nursing education lacks standardized competency frameworks.
- Existing national or regional standards vary significantly.
- A unified set of competencies is needed for consistent nursing educator practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map nursing educator competency standards from existing literature.
- To identify commonalities and differences in these standards.
- To inform the development of globally applicable nursing educator competencies.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review utilizing JBI methodology and an a priori protocol.
- Comprehensive search of studies and guidelines (2001-2022) across multiple databases.
- Data extraction and mapping of 16 identified competency categories from 14 included sources.
Main Results:
- Identified 16 common competency categories across nursing educator roles and settings.
- Leadership and management, research and scholarship, professional values, professional development, and facilitating learning were prominent.
- Competencies in nursing skills and decision-making/strategic planning were less frequently identified.
Conclusions:
- Common themes in nursing educator competencies include leadership, professional development, and facilitating learning.
- Limited evidence exists for decision-making competencies.
