Abstract

Introduction

The complexity of healthcare is dynamic and requires educators to evaluate how to prepare pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs). The research team sought to evaluate procedures currently being performed by primary and acute care PNPs in clinical practice and determine how this aligns with the educational preparation recommended for certification.

Method

A cross-sectional survey of primary and acute care PNPs were evaluated through an online survey.

Results

There were 2,265 surveys completed (Primary Care PNPs [n = 1925, 85%] and the Acute Care PNPs [n = 229, 10%]). Several positive associations were discovered among the procedures being performed by both AC and PC PNPs. This indicates that both AC and PC PNPs commonly performed these three same procedures.

Discussion

There were correlations with the recommended procedures for the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB) pediatric certification examinations and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties entry-level competencies. However, there were noted differences in the recommended procedures.

通过分析儿科护士从业人员在临床实践中执行的程序来弥合教育程序差距：一项横断面调查

医疗保健的复杂性是动态的，需要教育工作者评估如何准备儿科护士从业人员（PNPs）。研究小组试图评估临床实践中初级和急性护理PNPs目前执行的程序，并确定这与认证推荐的教育准备如何一致。方法采用横断面调查的方法，通过在线调查对初级和急性护理的PNPs进行评估。结果共完成问卷调查2265份，其中初级保健PNPs [n = 1925, 85%]和急症护理PNPs [n = 229, 10%]。在AC和PC PNPs进行的手术中发现了一些正相关。这表明AC和PC pnp通常执行这三个相同的过程。讨论与儿科护理认证委员会（PNCB）儿科认证考试的推荐程序和国家护士执业院系组织的入门级能力相关。然而，在推荐的程序中存在明显的差异。
