目的 了解护理管理者对新护士护理能力期待水平的现状并构建潜在类别，识别各亚组人口学变量分布特征。 方法 于2021年11月便利选取上海市5所三级甲等医院的306名护理管理者为研究对象，应用中文版护理能力量表进行调查。 结果 护理管理者期待水平可分为低期待型（15.7%），中期待型（48.4%）和高期待型（35.9%）。研究结果显示，直接承担新护士培养任务的带教教师中高期待型占比多于护士长和护理部管理人员（ χ²=10.658，P=0.021）；本科及以上学历的护理管理者高期待型占比较多（H=6.998，P=0.030）；同时高期待水平的护理管理者更认可新护士的工作胜任程度（ χ²=10.954，P=0.005）和能力达标情况（ χ²=13.142，P=0.001）。 结论 护理管理者对新护士护理能力总体期待处于较高水平，且不同学历、职务、对新护士能力认可和信任程度的管理者期待值存在差异。

Objective To describe the current status of nursing administrators’ expectations of nursing competency for newly graduated nurses，and to construct potential categories of administrators’ expectation level and identify the distribution characteristics of administrators’ demographic variables under different categories. Methods A convenience sample of 306 nursing administrators from five tertiary hospitals in Shanghai was selected in November 2021，the Chinese version of Nurse Competence Scale was used in investigation. Results Results of latent profile analysis revealed that the expectation levels of nursing administrators’ could be classified into three subgroups，namely low expectation（15.7%），moderate expectation（48.4%），and high expectation（35.9%） respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that the clinical nursing teachers directly responsible for the training of newly graduated nurses had higher proportion than that of head nurses and nursing department managers（ χ²=10.658，P=0.021）；nursing administrators with a bachelor degree tended to have high expectations（H=6.998，P=0.030）. Meanwhile，nursing administrators with high expectation levels were more inclined to recognize the newly graduated nurses’ competence（ χ²=10.954，P=0.005） and competence to meet the standards（ χ²=13.142，P=0.001）. Conclusion Nursing administrators’ expected level on the nursing competence of newly graduated nurses is at a high level，and difference lies in expectations of administrators with different degrees，positions，recognition and trust.
