Abstract
To develop a competency framework applicable to Chinese extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) nurses. A qualitative study was performed following the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research. Semi-structured interviews based on the critical incident technique were conducted among 21 ECMO care providers recruited from five well-known ECMO centres in Guangzhou, China. Interview transcripts were coded and analysed using the constant comparative method. The data collection period lasted from November 2021 to April 2022. A competency framework for ECMO nurses was identified. It included four domains: knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes, containing 33 subcompetencies and 66 items. This framework can be a reference for the assessment and training of ECMO nurses.
