Objective:
To construct a hierarchical management system for specialist nurses based on Patricia Benner's theory, and evaluate its implement effect, so as to provide reference for the hierarchical management of specialist nurses.
Methods:
Literature retrieval, semi-structured interview and Delphi method were conducted for initially formulation of the draft of hierarchical management system for specialist nurses. Forty-three specialist nurses and 14 nursing managers were selected for the study, using a non-randomized controlled experimental study design, and at the end of the study, the job satisfaction, job engagement, job exuberance, advice behaviors and nursing managers' overall job satisfaction of specialist nurses were compared before and after the hierarchical management.
