Abstract:

Objective To explore the integration method and the effects of a clinical cultivation programme for maters of nursing specialist（MNS）. Methods From May 2019 to November 2020,twenty MNS were divided into the A and the B groups based on whether they had clinical working experience more than 3 years. In group A,the training programme for new nurses were integrated in the current cultivation programme. In group B,the training programme for specialty nurses were integrated in the current cultivation programme. After the training,theoretical examination,skill assessment and satisfaction level of graduates in the two groups were assessed. Results All 20 MNS completed the training and passed the assessments. The theory assessment score was 89.56±4.37 and the skill assessment score was 84.39±5.76 in group A. The theory assessment score was 87.98±6.67 and the skill assessment score was 87.78±5.98 in group B. The average scores of satisfaction survey ranged from 3.67 to 3.86 with good overall satisfaction.
