Abstract

Continuous and systematic monitoring, evaluation, and restructuring of postgraduate nursing education-through active stakeholder engagement-has become increasingly vital. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives of graduates, nurse educators, and practicing nurses concerning the competencies acquired through postgraduate nursing education. A total of 24 participants from these three stakeholder groups contributed to the research. Data were collected via tailored information forms and semistructured interview guides, and analyzed using the MAXQDA software. The findings were categorized into three main themes and 14 subthemes. The results revealed a strong alignment between the competencies expected from postgraduate education and those actually attained, while also highlighting several challenges and offering constructive recommendations. The study underscores the need to enhance postgraduate nursing education within a competency-based framework and calls for further research involving broader and more diverse populations to facilitate both national and international comparisons.

研究生、护理教育者和护士对护理研究生教育能力的看法：一项质性研究。

通过利益相关者的积极参与，对研究生护理教育进行持续和系统的监测、评估和重组已变得越来越重要。本质性研究旨在探讨毕业生、护理教育者和执业护士对研究生护理教育所获得的能力的看法。来自这三个利益相关者群体的总共24名参与者参与了这项研究。通过定制信息表格和半结构化访谈指南收集数据，并使用MAXQDA软件进行分析。研究结果分为三个主要主题和14个次要主题。结果显示，研究生教育所期望的能力与实际达到的能力之间存在很强的一致性，同时也强调了一些挑战并提出了建设性的建议。该研究强调了在以能力为基础的框架内加强研究生护理教育的必要性，并呼吁开展涉及更广泛、更多样化人群的进一步研究，以促进国内和国际比较。
