Abstract

BACKGROUND Graduate nursing programs were encouraged to map their curriculum to the Quality and Safety Education in Nursing (QSEN) graduate knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) competency statements. PURPOSE Evaluation of the alignment between the 2009 QSEN graduate KSA competency statements and the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials advanced-level (Level 2) subcompetencies is needed to support curricular transition to competency-based education and the Essentials. METHODS A team of 5 nursing education experts engaged in multiple rounds of review to seek consensus in determining alignment between the 2009 QSEN graduate KSA competency statements and the 2021 AACN advanced-level subcompetencies. RESULTS A QSEN-AACN graduate crosswalk tool was created, which reflects alignment of 34% of the 196 graduate QSEN KSA competency statements to the AACN Essentials subcompetencies at the advanced level. 36% of the graduate QSEN KSA competency statements were found to align with the AACN subcompetencies at the entry level. CONCLUSIONS The 2009 QSEN graduate competencies are embedded within 2021 AACN Essentials at entry and advanced levels. However, a sizable shift toward entry level is noted, which represents an evolution in expectations for contemporary practice. This holds significance for graduate nursing faculty as they work to revise curriculum and assessments to meet new guidelines and standards for the profession.

从毕业生 QSEN 能力到新要点的路径规划。

目的评估2009年QSEN毕业生KSA能力陈述与2021年美国护理学院协会（AACN）要点高级水平（2级）子能力之间的一致性，以支持课程向基于能力的教育和要点过渡。方法由5位护理教育专家组成的团队进行了多轮审核，以寻求共识，确定2009年QSEN毕业生KSA能力陈述与2021年AACN高级水平子能力之间的一致性。结果创建了QSEN-AACN毕业生交叉工具，该工具反映了196个QSEN毕业生KSA能力陈述中的34%与AACN Essentials高级水平子能力之间的一致性。36%的QSEN KSA毕业生能力陈述与AACN入门级子能力相一致。然而，我们注意到在入门级方面有了很大的转变，这代表了对当代实践的期望值的演变。这对护理专业研究生教师来说具有重要意义，因为他们要努力修订课程和评估，以满足新的专业指导原则和标准。
