Abstract

BACKGROUND: Trends in the era of globalization show an increasing need for nurses to have the Global Health Competencies (GHC) so as to enable them to address global health problems particularly in the pandemic Covid-19. However, evidence-based information about relevance and feasibility of these competencies for undergraduate nursing students in Indonesia is very limited.

AIM: This study aims to achieve consensus among experts on global health competencies for Indonesian undergraduate nursing students.

METHODS: Using the 2-rounds Delphi method in a sequential mixed-method design, a total of 35 nursing experts voluntarily participated in the study. Six experts participated in the first round, and 29 others were in the second round, hence the collection of Quantitative and qualitative data. The Item Content Validation Index (I-CVI) = 0.78 and Scale Content Validation Index (S-CVI) = 0.9 were used to determine the level of agreement among the experts.

RESULTS: At the end of round 2, an agreement was reached on the 9 GHC domains. However, from the original 44 competencies there were 5 competencies that was excluded in the first round and 3 competencies in the second round. These results were supported by the most frequent comments from the experts that these competencies were lacking in clarity, suitability and irrelevant to undergraduate nurses’ competencies.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study has resulted in an agreement among experts regarding global health competencies for undergraduate nursing students in Indonesia. It is predicted that the findings of this study can contribute to the development of global health competencies in the nursing profession. Having these competencies will enable nurses to participate in overcoming global health problems. Validation of the new GHC by larger groups of nursing educators and graduate users is required.
