Development of a multidisciplinary competency framework for specialist nurses in outpatient dental sedation and anesthesia: a mixed-methods Delphi and AHP study
To develop and validate a comprehensive competency framework for specialist nurses in outpatient dental sedation and anesthesia to enhance perioperative safety, addressing the unique challenges of NORA.
Approach:
Key Findings:
The final framework comprises 4 primary, 11 secondary, and 40 tertiary indicators.
Primary domains include Professional Skills (0.361), Professional Knowledge (0.315), Personal Traits (0.179), and Professional Accomplishment (0.151).
'Risk Warning Management' (0.289) is identified as the most critical secondary competency.
The expert authority coefficient (Cr) reached 0.847, indicating high consensus among experts.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study is limited to a specific geographical context (China), which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
The reliance on expert opinion may introduce bias in the competency framework development.
Study found species-specific differences in biofilm -forming capacity and antimicrobial susceptibility among supragingival bacterial isolates from patients with active dental caries.
