ABSTRACT

Introduction: Emergency nurses play an essential role in the care of critically ill and injured patients, and their competency to perform clinical skills is vital to safe and effective patient care. This study aimed to assess the clinical competence and related demographic factors among emergency nurses (ED) in five public hospitals in the middle district of Jordan. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 105 Jordanian nurses were selected by convenience sampling method. The data collection tools included demographic information of the participants and the Six Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance (6-DSNP). Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, and multiple regression analysis. Instrument reliability was estimated using Cronbach Alpha analysis. Results: The findings of this study indicated that the mean score of overall nurses' clinical competencies was 7.4 out of 10, which indicated that the participants' nurses have a high level of nursing competencies. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference (p0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that socio-demographic factors (gender, age, and work experience) do not significantly influence nurses' clinical competence. Only the educational level significantly and positively influences nurses' clinical competence. Conclusions: The clinical competence of emergency nurses in public hospitals in Jordan was at a high level, clinical competence should be evaluated objectively, and positive measures should be taken to promote the application of their clinical competence.
