Various authors have explored the combination of competencies necessary for ensuring safe
and quality care carried out by nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Nurses’ perception of training is an
element that must be studied in order to adopt appropriate educational measures. This study aimed to
evaluate nurses’ perception of the importance of intensive care training in Spain.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, multicentre study was conducted on a national level in Spain.
Totally 85 ICUs took part in the study. The questionnaire used was developed using the Delphi method
and had 66 items to investigate nurses’ perception on competency requirements and training needs. The
evaluation was conducted by a 10-point Likert scale.
Results: The sample was 568 Spanish nurses. Significant differences were found on an academic level, in
terms of gender and hospital type, and in the professional experience of the nurse when it comes to
evaluating the different training items; the differences in overall questionnaire scores among these
groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The nurses analyzed believe that previous training and
professional experience in other care services are necessary before starting work in an ICU.
Conclusion: Implementation of training programs tailored to the needs of critical nurses had benefits for
nurses and the health system. Nurses benefited from training focused on the skills and knowledge of
each moment of their working life. Nurses have a different evaluation of their training needs throughout
their professional cycle. Therefore, their training must be adapted to the professional stage of each nurse. [-]
