A Systematic Review of Instruments Measuring Nurses’ Competency

Abstract

Nurse competence is essential to provide good care and is closely related to the quality of health services. To assess nurses' abilities in terms of education, professional development, and clinical performance evaluation, competency measurement is essential. To assess nurse competence, many questionnaires have been created. However, there are differences in the methods, validity, and scope of these questionnaires, so identifying the most appropriate and reliable questionnaire for various situations requires a thorough review. The purpose of this literature review is to identify existing instruments used to measure nurse competence.
