Abstract
This study determined the level of competencies of the nurses in the emergency room. It tackled their age, civil status, highest educational attainment, position, number of years in service, and number of relevant trainings, and earning average income. It tackled the level of competency along the 11 core competency standards. The study utilized the descriptive research design and utilized a survey questionnaire as the main tool in gathering data. Several statistical tools were used like frequency and percentage, weighted mean, t-test, and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The nurse respondents were young adults, married, Bachelor’s degree holder, staff nurses, had been in the service for more than 5 years, had undergone few numbers of trainings, and earn an income of below P20,000 a month. The nurses were all competent in the 11 core competencies however the highest in their competency level is along legal responsibility, ethico-moral responsibility, and collaboration and teamwork and lowest on health education and quality improvement. Significant differences were noted along safe and quality nursing practice, quality improvement, record management, communication, and collaboration and teamwork. Significant positive R-values are shown between civil status and number for years in services with clinical competency in health education. This indicates that the longer the length of service of the married emergency room nurse, the higher is their clinical competency in health education.
