Development, Validation and Primary Application of a Competency-Based Training Course Index System for Gynaecological...

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Gynaecology
• Healthcare Training

Background:

• Specialist nurses require advanced training.
• Post-competency evaluation is crucial for gynaecological nurses.
• Existing training systems may lack comprehensive indexing.

Purpose of the Study:

• To establish a post-competency training course indexing system for gynaecological specialist nurses.
• To develop a structured framework for evaluating specialist nursing skills.

Main Methods:

• Mixed-methods approach combining literature reviews and semi-structured interviews.
• Two-round Delphi consultation with 15 experts to refine the index.
• A 3-month training program with 75 nurses to assess practical application.

Main Results:

• A comprehensive index system with 4 primary, 12 secondary, and 58 tertiary indexes was developed.
• Expert authority coefficients were high (0.943, 0.942), indicating consensus.
• Significant improvements in theoretical knowledge (65.4 to 91.2) and self-assessed competency (39.5 to 86.8) were observed post-training.

Conclusions:

• The developed index system is logical and thorough.
• Empirical study findings support a scientific and systematic approach to gynaecology specialist nursing teams.
• The system provides a foundation for enhancing specialist nursing education and practice.
