Multicenter StudyCore competencies for nurses in Chinese intensive care units: a cross-sectional study.
Core competencies of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses were defined as the essential capability to influence patient safety and interdisciplinary collaboration; however, there has been no research conducted that relates to core competencies of ICU nurses at Chinese tertiary-A hospitals in Shanghai. ⋯ Nursing managers should implement targeted interventions to improve nurse-physician co-operation and translate research into practice competencies, such as high-fidelity simulation, inter-professional education, scientific research training and innovative skills tutorials. Moreover, this study demonstrated the influencing factors that can be used to improve core competences of ICU nurses.
