in order to evaluate their training in core competencies based on a 5-point Likert scale with 4 groups
of core competencies (Nursing professional competency; nursing management and professional
development; practice - making legal policy and professional ethics; and training and scientific
research).
Results: According to the respondents, 4 groups of core competencies with 38 specific skills had
high average score and passing rate. These 38 items in four groups of competencies were arranged
appropriately, meeting the requirements of high internal consistency.
Conclusion: The content related to 4 groups of research competencies and 38 detailed competencies
