  • Title: The effect of a competency-based targeted staff development program on nursing productivity.
    Author: Ozcan YA, Shukla RK.
    Journal: J Nurs Staff Dev; 1993; 9(2):78-84. PubMed ID: 8492183.
    Abstract:
    This study is based on the empirical fact that among nurses large variations occur not only in clinical competency but also in individual productivity. The article proposes that competency-based targeted staff development programs can improve productivity as well as nursing performance. Research presented here shows that the nurses on units using targeted staff development increased the time spent on professional and direct care and reduced nonprofessional and indirect care tasks in comparison to nurses on the control nursing unit.
