AB - Purpose: The purpose of this study is to grasp core competency and related factors of trauma nurses at regional trauma centers in South Korea. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional survey design. Through convenient sampling, 175 trauma nurses were recruited from 5 regional trauma centers in South Korea. The data were collected by using the self-reported questionnaire including core competency of trauma nurse. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, χ2-test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, and multiple regression. Results: The mean score of core competency of trauma nurses was 3.64±0.55, and the mean scores of sub-scales were comfort enhancer 3.77±0.64, clinical knowledge 3.71±0.59, partner/guide/health education 3.62±0.66, coordinator 3.56±0.72, risk management 3.58±0.58 each. The related factors of core competency of trauma nurses were age, education level, working experience, working period at the unit. Multiple regression analysis showed that education(β=.18, p=.022) & explained 9.4% of core competency of nurses at regional trauma centers. Conclusion: The findings revealed that nurses at regional trauma centers are in need of structured educations for specialized trauma nursing before being assigned to regional trauma centers and continuing education periodically to enhance their core competency of trauma nursing.
