A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.

Mindfulness in Motion (MIM): An Onsite Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI) for Chronically High Stress Work Environments to Increase Resiliency and Work Engagement

Published on: July 1, 2015

Area of Science:

  • Occupational and Environmental Health
  • Nursing Practice
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) involves specialized nursing and medical practice.
  • Occupational and Environmental Health Nurse Practitioners (OEHNPs) are vital for worker health and safety.
  • Existing literature lacks explicit core competencies for OEHNPs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if core competencies for OEHNPs in the U.S. exist.
  • To identify relevant competencies from OEH nursing and medicine for future OEHNP development.

Main Methods:

  • An integrative review of peer-reviewed literature from the U.S. over the past 50 years.
  • Searches conducted across five databases, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Literature categorized by focus: OEH nursing, OEH medicine, and general nurse practitioners.

Main Results:

  • 31 articles were reviewed; most focused on OEH nursing or OEH medicine.
  • OEH nursing literature discussed practice standards and competencies.
  • No articles explicitly identified core competencies for OEHNPs.

Conclusions:

  • A clear need exists to develop specific core competencies for OEHNPs.
  • These competencies should reflect the advanced practice, decision-making, and autonomy of OEHNPs.
  • A consensus-driven approach is recommended for developing OEHNP competencies to guide education and certification.
