Jeanette Finstad Anestesisykepleier og fagutviklingssykepleier Avdeling for anestesisykepleie, akuttklinikken, Oslo universitetssykehus, Ullevål Knut Magne Koldstadbråten Ledende traumekoordinator Avdeling for traumatologi, akuttklinikken, Oslo universitetssykehus, Ullevål Ragnhild Hellesø Professor Avdeling for sykepleievitenskap, Det medisinske fakultet, Universitetet i Oslo Authors Objective: The purpose of the study was to survey whether the course participants felt they were better equipped to receive and treat trauma patients after completing the course. There is little Nordic research on nurses’ own assessment of their competence following a trauma course. Method: The study has a prospective survey design, where the pretest-posttest method is applied to a single group. We collected data using an electronic questionnaire that contained 23 questions divided into three areas of competence: medical competence, teamwork competence and choice and improvisation competence. Results: The study shows that the course participants reported that the Course in Trauma Nursing leads to improvements in the three competence areas. Gender, age, participation in a trauma team and number of years of further education have no impact on the results. Course participants who had not previously participated in a trauma course reported an improvement in competence in about a quarter of the questions concerning medical competence, compared to those who had previously participated in a trauma course. Conclusion: The Course in Trauma Nursing should continue to be a priority area for healthcare personnel in acute care hospitals with a trauma function, both for trauma team specialists and for other professions involved in treating and rehabilitating trauma patients. Trauma is the leading global cause of death and disability (1). In western countries, injuries are the main cause of death among people aged between 1 and 44 (2). An organised and formalised trauma system with dedicated trauma teams has been shown to optimise patients’ clinical outcomes after injury and lead to higher survival rates (3, 4). Based on recommendations in a report on the trauma system in Norway (Traumesystem i Norge), Norwegian trauma hospitals must meet certain criteria for resources, and trauma team specialists must meet competence requirements (5). Competence can be defined as ‘the aggregate knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes that make it possible to perform relevant functions and tasks in accordance with defined requirements and goals’ (6, p. 48). Self-perceived competence relates to how individuals view their own competence in different areas, and is not an objective measurement (7).
