Implication

A pilot study demonstrates improved competency in pediatric operating room nurses following a structured training program, suggesting effective professional development strategies.

Key Points

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a competency-based training program for pediatric OR nurses.
Utilized a two-round Delphi method with 15 experts to develop the training framework.
Conducted a prospective, single-center pilot study with 40 newly recruited nurses at a tertiary pediatric hospital.
Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving the CBT program or a control group receiving traditional mentoring.
Outcomes assessed included theoretical tests, practical skills evaluations, and various competency scales.
The experimental group showed significant improvements in theoretical knowledge (88.52 vs. 80.23, p < 0.001).
Improvements in practical skills were notable (85.22 vs. 78.36, p < 0.001).
Overall job competency scores increased significantly (92.49 vs. 82.72, p < 0.001).
Self-efficacy was higher in the experimental group (26.52 vs. 21.42, p < 0.01).
The perceived ability-job fit scores were significantly improved (18.32 vs. 14.52, p < 0.001).
