碩士 === 弘光科技大學 === 護理研究所 === 101 === Clinial practice is a very important process to develop excellent nurses, and in this process, clinical nursing teachers, as role models for student nurses in their clinical practice, can be regarded as key persons who are responsible for the clinical teaching of student nurses. As a result, it is worthwhile to explore what compentence the clinical nursing teachers possess to cultivate the next-generation nursing professionals to adapt themselves to the changeable clinical envioronment. This study aims to understand the contents of the core competence for clinical nursing teachers and to construct the indicators of the core competence for clinical nursing teachers. To meet the purpose of this research, by way of the literature review on the core competence for clinical nursing teachers and focus group interview with eight nursing experts, the preliminary framework of the indicators is developed from the analysis of the results. This study adpots the Modified Delphi Technique survey to construct the indicators of the core competence for clinical nursing teachers by consulting with 23 Delphi experts and integrating the different opinions to reach the agreement from these experts through two-round Q&; A and revisions. According to the research result, the indicators of the core competence for clinical nursing teachers are composed of six dimensions as follows: “Teaching Competence ,” “Clinical Nursing Competence,” “Leadership and Management,” “Problem-solving Competence ,” “Communication and Interpersoanl Relationship,” and “Academic Research and Professional Development Competence,” with 14 sub-dimensions and 81 indicators. Finally, based on the research result, the researcher proposes the indicators of the core competence for clinical nursing teachers to self-examine their working competence. In the mean time, this framework of the indicators can be considered as a reference not only for nursing school faculties to draw up measures for recruiting and assessing the clinical nursing teachers, but also for the related educational institutions to plan future training programs for clinical nursing teachers in Taiwan.
