A National Strategy-Based System for Assessment of Nurse Leader Competence: A Retrospective Study
Background:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a comprehensive goal assessment system for nurse leaders (CGASNL) in improving nursing quality and management outcomes.
Method:
This single-center retrospective study involved 60 nurse leaders and was conducted over a period of 3 years. Task, relational, and outcome indicators before and after implementation of the CGASNL were compared.
Results:
After CGASNL implementation, significant improvements were seen. Nursing qualification rates increased from 86.53% to 96.37% (p = .014), adverse events decreased from 25.91% to 13.64% (p = .021), and complaints decreased from 3.32% to 0.91% (p = .036). Attendance and data reporting rates also improved (p = .017 and p = .018, respectively). Satisfaction among physicians, nurses, and patients increased significantly. Research outputs, including articles, projects, patents, and education programs, increased postassessment.
Conclusion:
The CGASNL for nurse leaders is rigorous, aligning with policy and effectively reflecting the functional needs of nurse leaders in tertiary hospitals.
