Objectives: In this study, we conducted a concept analysis to clarify and define a framework regarding the educational abilities of proficient nurses.
Methods: The Rodgers method was used in this study. Keywords searched on Igakuchuozashi databases were “proficient nurses,” and “education.” We extracted 31 studies based on their titles or abstracts.
Results: We extracted six attributes: nursing practice models, instructional strategies, interpersonal relationships, performance of roles, problem-solving behavior, and self-study. We extracted four antecedents: a core presence in nursing, awareness of career design, character of adult learners, and organizational support system. We extracted and identified four consequences: provision of highly specialized nursing care, facilitation of career design, improvement as an adult learner, and improvement of performance of roles.
Conclusion: The educational abilities of proficient nurses may be defined as follows: “In clinical practice, a nursing practice model should involve instructional strategies that enable nurses to learn through problem-solving while giving them the opportunity to form interpersonal relationships and perform their roles. In addition, developing problem-solving behavior, and self-study with self-reflection may help improve educational abilities.”
