A qualitative study exploring nurse educators’ experiences and views on nurses’ competency in electrocardiogram interpretation
The findings revealed key barriers and facilitators to Australian nurses' electrocardiogram interpretation competency. Strategies must be developed to address those barriers and improve nurses' competency in this area. Future research should focus on developing a standardised training program with validated assessment tools.
