Resumen: ntroduction
This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of a tutoring program designed for the development of competencies in novice nurses in a hospital emergency service. The development of nursing competencies is essential to ensure patient safety and quality care. Health care systems should implement programs that enhance competency and facilitate the professional transition of new nurses to ensure safe clinical environments.
Methods
A quasi-experimental, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Spain between 2023 and 2024. Newly hired nurses (n = 63) were allocated to an experimental group, which received a structured tutoring program led by a single tutor, and to a control group. Competency levels were evaluated by the tutor using validated rubrics. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics, with significance set at P<.05.
Results
The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in all evaluated competencies compared with the control group (P<.05). Gains were maintained at 6 months, supporting the program’s sustained effectiveness.
Discussion
The findings of this study have important implications for health care settings, showing that the development of a tutoring program within hospitals is an effective measure for the competency and professional development of nurses.
