摘要：Background: The backup nurses are created to meet emergencies in the case of inadequate nursing staff and emergency circumstances, and there are no clear definitions of the core competencies for training and evaluation of backup nurses in the acute care hospitals in China. Methods: This study used a modified Delphi process where an initial list of potential competencies is established following a framework of training need analysis (TNA), literature review, and focus groups. This process generated as a list of 47 core competencies, which is presented to an exper t panel (n = 20) for consideration in two rounds. Results: As determined by the survey, a combination of 26 core competencies in three specified categories is identified: professional practice ability, critical thinking ability, and interpersonal skills. A total of 154.99 h is required to complete all 26 core competencies, and each item has a corresponding evaluation method. Conclusions: The core competencies provide a scientific basis for the hospital nursing managers to train and evaluate backup nurses, and it may ensure consistency in standards across the country.
