Description
Jason P Murphy and the team identify required competencies for expert infection nurses in Sweden, in a 2026 consensus study. Infection threats and drug resistance are growing system challenges. Formal evidence on essential skills for these nurses was lacking. Thirty-one academic and medical experts completed three rating rounds.
Agreement, set at three-quarters, was reached on sixty-two of seventy-four proposed skills. Agreed areas spanned microbiology knowledge, medical judgement, prevention, collaboration, and leading during extreme events. Person-centred care and mentoring also featured. Cross-culture care, green goals, and ethics items missed agreement. Those gaps are flagged for future work.
