The Impact Of Continuing Education On Nursing Practice

Abstract

Nursing competence encompasses the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively perform the duties and responsibilities of a nurse. Thus, it is crucial to precisely define nursing competence in order to provide a solid basis for the nursing education program. Although the ideas related to nursing competency are crucial for enhancing the quality of nursing, they are still in the process of being fully established. Therefore, there are still difficulties in creating precise definitions and frameworks for nursing competence, determining the specific levels of competency required for nursing practitioners, and developing effective training techniques, among other challenges. The current study examines the research on the definitions and characteristics of nursing competence in Japan, as well as the structure, components, and assessment of competency. In addition, we conducted an examination of training techniques aimed at imparting nursing proficiency.
