ABSTRACT

Purpose : This study aimed to develop an IRT Program in order to train the cadets of the AFNA, as prospective military nursing officers, to be completely ready to perform their duty under any circumstances in the field. Methods : This study was conducted using a competency-based curriculum development model with four phases. In the analysis phase, the educational demands were identified by literature review and interviews with the cadets and nursing officers. In the planning phase, based on the data collected in the first step, the educational contents were extracted and the educational goals were set with expert reviews. In the development phase, a competency profile was made up of key competencies required for the readiness, and based on that the IRT Program was developed. The application and evaluation phase was intentionally omitted due to the time frame. Results : The competency profile consisted of 55 competencies which were classified into five categories : Leadership included six competencies, such as conflict management and crisis communication ; Medical equipment management skill was comprised of 16 competencies including skills to deal with defibrillators and portable suction devices ; Emergency and trauma care involved 26 nursing care skills including treating gunshot wounds ; Evacuation care included four competencies which were essential while evacuating patients ; Mass casualty management consisted of three competencies including triage. The IRT Program was designed to promote each trainee to achieve the educational goals step by step with self-assessment of their own competency level and accomplishments. Conclusion : This study is expected to contribute to improving and strengthening the cadets’ field readiness.
