Statistics analysis was used to identify the relationships between background variables to compare OTNs with and without managerial responsibility and their need for competence development.ResultsOTNs with an academic degree and managerial responsibility self‐rated their clinical competence higher compared with OTNs without an academic degree. It also turned out that OTNs with RN education and 1‐year advanced nursing in theatre care, and master's 60 credits had a lower need for competence development in cooperation and consultation, professional development and critical thinking.
