Abstract
For nurse practitioners (NPs) in Japan, competencies related to interdisciplinary practice are profoundly important. A qualitative study was conducted to obtain descriptive findings on competencies related to the interdisciplinary practice of NPs in Japan using focus group interviews with 4 NPs. The findings led to the competencies being classified into 7 categories and 17 subcategories under the 3 broad categories of Bloom’s taxonomy. NPs were found to deal not only with individuals but also with communities. NPs’ practice includes identifying and organizing needs and problems, coordinating multidisciplinary teams to tackle the problems, and performing continuous evaluations.
