Introduction: Clinical competence is one of the requirements that nurses must have in clinical environments, especially psychiatric centers. This issue has a direct impact on the quality of nursing care. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the level of clinical competence, dimensions and related factors in psychiatric nurses working in Razi Psychiatric Hospital in Tehran in 2024.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 211 psychiatric nurses. The samples were selected by census method. The data was collected using demographic information questionnaire and "Clinical Competence of Mohtashmi Psychiatric Nurses" questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.
Results: The mean clinical competency score of the psychiatric nurses participating in the study was 147.20±50.37. The mean and standard deviation of general competence, specific competence of the psychiatric nurses participating in the research were 32.47±5.34, 115.02±16.03, respectively. Also, the results of the study showed that participation in specialized psychiatric nursing courses has a significant relationship with clinical competence (p=0.002).
Conclusion: The results of this study show that the clinical competence of psychiatric nurses is at a good level, but more focus should be made on the dimensions of their specialized clinical competence. Also, holding specialized psychiatric nursing courses during service can further improve the quality level of clinical competence of psychiatric nurses in caring for patients with psychiatric disorders. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing managers of medical centers pay attention and emphasize the holding of these courses for psychiatrists. |
