Overview

Cross-sectional evaluation of nurses' competencies reveals weaknesses in communication and advance care planning.

Key Points

  • Nurses rated their competence in advance care planning and communication as low, highlighting gaps in training.
  • Supervisors also evaluated staff competence lowest in psychological care and advance care planning competencies.
  • A web-based questionnaire collected responses from 587 clinical nursing staff across the nation to assess competencies.
  • The findings suggest that improvements are needed in legal aspects and competencies related to treating psychological suffering.
