Method for evaluating the competency of geriatric nursing professionals

This study proposes a more scientific and rational evaluation system and methodology designed to assess competency among geriatric nursing professionals. The development of this system commenced with the construction of a comprehensive competency indicator framework via structured questionnaire surveys. The entropy weight method (EWM) was then applied to determine the authority coefficients of each expert. Subsequently, both the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the EWM were employed to assign correlation weights to each indicator and determine the total hierarchical weights of the third-level indicators. Finally, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was applied to assess all participating interns against these indicators, enabling a quantifiable and comparative measure of job competency. This approach effectively reflects the job competence of geriatric nursing talents and provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing the training and selection processes of nursing personnel, thereby contributing to the improvement of geriatric care service quality.
