Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how and to what extent current societal and healthcare trends impact the educational needs of the emergency nurse. In addition, this study sought to draw upon that information to facilitate the development of expert consensus about the major educational priorities for emergency nurses during the time period from 2008 to 2018. A mixed methodology, qualitative-then-quantitative study design using a Delphi method was employed for this research. The 3-round Delphi study engaged a total of 50 emergency nursing experts with prior experience in emergency nursing practice and education to identify societal and healthcare trends and major educational priorities of relevance to emergency nurses.In this study, 3 rounds of questioning resulted in a total of 42 societal and healthcare priorities and 63 educational priorities with moderate to high consensus achieved in all categories. Societal and healthcare trends that were ranked as having the most significant impact on emergency nursing included emergency department overcrowding, increasing patient complexity and acuity, access to healthcare, mental and behavioral health needs, and an aging population.
