Keywords:

The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the factors enhancing functional nurses’ competencies in providing seamless nursing care for patients with cardiovascular diseases from the experts’ perspective in nursing quality improvement. A purposive sample of 18 nurses who had experience in seamless cardiovascular nursing care were selected as three nurse members of the cardio-thoracic nurses’ association, 14 executive nurses, and two nursing instructors. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and audio recordings. The qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.
The results showed that factors affecting nurses’ functional competencies in providing seamless nursing care for patients with cardiovascular diseases encompassed five components as follows: 1) management factors; 2) self-importance in work factors; 3) positive interactions among team member’s factors; 4) technology and innovation, including research factors; and 5) increasing the value of self-awareness of work.
The findings of this research can serve as a guide for nursing administrators in developing competencies that align with the professional roles of nurses in providing seamless care for patients with cardiovascular disease. This factor can significantly contribute to improving the quality of care received by patients with cardiovascular disease.
