Article Synopsis
- Designing competency-based education (CBE) programs is essential for improving nursing care in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, yet current pre-service training largely relies on object-based education (OBE).
- A qualitative study involving interviews and focus groups aimed to compare the competencies of CBE- and OBE-trained nurses and understand the perceptions of their supervisors and peers.
- Findings revealed that CBE-trained nurses excelled in areas like communication and decision-making but faced challenges in clinical skills and workplace integration compared to their OBE-trained counterparts.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the object-based approach (OBA) still remains mainstream in the basic nursing education program, despite the intention of the Ministry of Public Health to expand the competency-based approach (CBA) nationwide. This study aimed to compare the clinical competency of nurses trained with CBA and OBA. A cross-sectional, mixed study was conducted.
