Nurse educators’ expectations, training, and assessments of electrocardiogram interpretation among Australian acute care nurses: a national survey
Nurse educators held high expectations of nurses' competency in ECG interpretation; however, they perceived nurses' competency in this area as needing improvement. The heterogeneity of training programmes, methods, and assessments can result in significant discrepancies in skill levels. Hence, there is a strong need to develop a high-quality, standardized training programme, a validated and standardized assessment tool, and a credible programme standard.
