Abstract
Abstract
Objective
A collaborative research team of community/public health nursing faculty and public health nurses surveyed public health nurses to explore knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of the
Quad Council Competencies for Public Health Nurses (QCC‐PHN).
Methods
Evaluate the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of the 2011
QCC‐PHN
by public health nurses.
Design
A descriptive, cross‐sectional design was used to answer the hypothesis related to the study objective. A convenience sample of 308 public health nurses completed an online survey.
Measurements
ANOVA was used to determine the difference between the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of community/public health nurses (C/PHNs) regarding the
QCC‐PHN
based on nursing specialty preparation, years of nursing experience, and years of C/PHN experience.
Results
C/PHNs are described and differences in knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application are delineated. A statistically significant difference was found in knowledge and attitude based upon years of C/PHN experience.
Conclusions
Recommendations are proposed for increasing the
QCC‐PHN
awareness, implementation, and evaluation to effectively enhance the practice of nursing C/PHN.
