Results from the review of the Australian nurse teacher professional practice standards

The aim of the study was to review the 2010 Australian nurse teacher professional practice standards (‘the Standards’) to see if they were still relevant to current nursing educator practice in any practice setting, such as academia or clinical settings. A modified Delphi technique was used for this study. Delphi surveys were used to obtain consensus on the relevance of the Standards’ statements to any nursing educator.
Links to two electronic surveys were sent to an expert panel of nursing educator leaders. Also, two online (Zoom) focus groups of nursing educators from any practice setting or level of experience were held. Results from the first survey and focus groups led to word changes and additional statements, which were included in the second Delphi survey.
