Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2009, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim. The aim of this article is to show how graduates finishing the 4-year BSc nursing training in 2007 and undergraduates finishing their training in 2008 shortly before their final exams assess their competences, and to compare the strengths and weaknesses of Hungarian nursing practice with the international results.Material and methods. Nursing competency has always been a topic of interest and a subject of debate in Hungary. There are no data available in Hungary that are suitable for international comparison on what competences can be practised in Hungarian healthcare. The method of data collection was carried out by questionnaire. 6 training sites of 3 training institutions were selected. A total sample of 458, from which a sample of 123 students graduated in 2007 (N = 123) and a sample of 335 undergraduate students were graduating in 2008 (N =335), was surveyed. The analysis of data was performed using the SPSS statistical package. Assessment of relations between variables was performed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Friedman test.Results. A common feature of the Hungarian and international findings is that the care delivery competence domain is the first, and research and development is the last in the rank, but there are country-specific features as well.Conclusion. The results of the research can serve as a basis to develop nursing education.
