背景：护理能力越来越受到关注。然而，来自国际文献的研究表明，研究生护士还没有做好准备，没有能力提供安全有效的护理服务。因此，对护理本科生胜任力进行评估，并探索相关因素对提高护理本科生胜任力和护理质量具有重要意义。目的：探讨环境资源结构赋权和个人内部资源心理资本对护理本科生胜任力的影响。本次调查共邀请中国在五大三级教学医院实习的护理本科生300名。共有286名学生完成了调查，并进行了统计评估。结果：研究结果表明，护生具有中高水平的胜任力，中高水平的结构赋权和心理资本。结构赋权和心理资本知觉水平较高的学生更有可能获得更高的胜任力水平。结论：结构赋权和心理资本与学生胜任力显著正相关。提示护理管理者和教育工作者不仅要加强对护理本科生能力的干预，更要注重营造支持性的临床学习环境，强化他们积极的个人资源。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Background: Competence in nursing has been increasingly addressed. However, studies from the international literature have demonstrated that graduate nurses are not ready and they are not competent to provide safe and effective nursing care. Therefore, it is important to assess nursing students' competence and to explore the relevant factors for improving nursing students' competence and the quality of nursing care.Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of structural empowerment (an environmental resource) and psychological capital (an intrapersonal resource) on baccalaureate nursing students' competence.Design and methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional survey. A total of 300 senior baccalaureate nursing students in China practicing in five major tertiary teaching hospitals were invited to participate in the current survey. A total of 286 students completed the survey and were evaluated statistically. Thus, the response rate was 95.3%.Results: The results of the study indicate that nursing students have medium-high levels of competence, and medium-high levels of structural empowerment and psychological capital. Students with perceived higher levels of structure empowerment and psychological capital were more likely to achieve higher levels of competence.Conclusions: Structural empowerment and psychological capital were significantly and positively correlated with students' competence. The findings implicate that nursing managers and educators should not only promote interventions to enhance competence of baccalaureate nursing students but also focus on creating a supportive clinical learning environment and strengthen their positive intrapersonal resource.
