Abstract
Assessment of stroke care core competency for neuroscience nurses is crucial for developing training programs to improve the quality of care for patients who have a stroke. The goal of this study was to determine the priorities for competency-based training using an importance-performance analysis of stroke care core competency among neuroscience nurses. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted using a convenience sample of 154 neuroscience nurses. Differences in importance and performance scores were analyzed with paired t tests. The training priority was determined using the importance-performance matrix. The overall performance score was significantly lower than the importance score. The highest priority areas of training were (a) principles of stroke care and (b) cardiovascular and respiratory effects. Competency-based continuing education is needed in implementing stroke best practices for neuroscience nurses to achieve optimal competency. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(2):63-68.].
