ABSTRACT

Purpose : The purpose of the study is to design army nursing officers' education courses to foster military nursing leaders armed with readiness. Methods : Four steps of a methodological study were carried out. The first step was to conduct a focus group interview in order to analyze nursing tasks according to career levels. Based on the tasks and a comprehensive literature review, army nursing leaders' competencies were investigated and validated. We developed education courses to fill the gap that was found through a gap analysis between current education curriculum and competencies. The final step was to establish an education framework for army nursing leaders in accordance with career and leadership levels. Results : The competencies included conceptual (planning, systematic thinking, change management), human(persuasive power, empowerment, respect, communication), and practical skills(professionalism, human resource development). Comprehensive nursing leadership education courses were established based on 9 competencies for the Army Nursing Corps, taking into account military nursing careers and leadership levels that encompassed strategic, operational and tactical levels. Conclusion : This systematic, serial education course framework was created based on competencies fitting to three leadership levels that army nursing leaders exercised. This will provide a good basis for career development and promote a readiness level among army nursing leaders.
