碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 101 === The study investigated public health nursing staffs’ background and core competencies in 37 District Health Centers of Tainan City. Nursing staffs’ marriage, age, education background, professional license, job position, type of Health Center, and core competencies were statistically analyzed to survey their background and 8 core competencies, including analytic/assessment skills, policy development/program planning skills, communication skills, cultural competency skills, community dimensions of practice skills, basic public health sciences skills, financial planning and management skills, and leadership and systems thinking skills. It is revealed that, among the 8 core competencies, public health nursing staffs considered their community dimensions of practice skills are the best. The followings are cultural competency skills, analytic/assessment skills, communication skills, basic public health sciences skills, leadership and systems thinking skills, and financial planning and management skills. Policy development/program planning skills was considered the weakest. Therefore, it is suggested that health authorities can provide training programs and courses to promote public health nursing staffs’ core competencies according to their current demands and abilities.
