Abstract：
PURPOSE:Nurse Practitioners are increasingly important in healthcare as they play a key role in leading advanced nursing practices. Assessing their professional competence is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate NPs' professional competencies based on at collaborative model around NP self and compare different methods of assessment. METHODS:A cross-sectional study and used a purposive sample of 211 participants in teaching hospital. Methods used were: self-assessment (nurse practitioners), peer-assessment (physicians and nurses) and supervisor-assessment (head nurses). RESULTS:The competence of nurse practitioners was rated as moderate (mean score = 3.45 of a possible 5; SD = .59). However, each method resulted in differences in competence for total score and dimensions. The highest competence was in direct patient care (mean = 3.55, SD = .53) and the lowest score was in monitoring the quality of patient care (mean = 3.30, SD = .82). Supervisor-assessment rated professional competence significantly lower than the method of self and peer-assessment (F = 10.07, p < .001). CONCLUSION:NPs requires an increased effort to continuous learning for enhancing professional competencies. Moreover, using multiple methods for assessment to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate evaluation of NPs professional competence.
