The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative identified informatics competencies for pre-licensure nursing education and published them as statements of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs). However, when creating the competencies, QSEN leaders did not include the views of Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) faculty who work with these students who represent over half (52%) of all nursing graduates, and have a profound understanding of their specific needs for workforce success. The purpose of this study was to identify which QSEN informatics KSA competency statements should be met by students in an ADN program. A web-based modified Delphi survey methodology was used. After IRB approval, 16 ADN faculty members from 16 different Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) accredited schools of nursing in Florida participated in the expert panel. Part 1 of the study included 2 rounds of surveys until a majority consensus was reached regarding the appropriateness for each Informatics KSA in an ADN curricula. Part 2 of the study repeated the process to determine the most important of the Informatics KSAs determined in Part 1. Qualtrics was used to deliver the surveys and SPSS to analyze the data. Participants were entered into a raffle for gift cards to compensate them for their time in the study for each questionnaire submitted. All 17 of the QSEN Informatics Competency Statements were identified as appropriate for inclusion in an ADN curriculum. Eleven (64%) of the 17 QSEN Informatics Competency Statements were identified as most important to include in an ADN curriculum. The study confirms initiatives for ADN faculty to adopt the QSEN informatics competencies in their curriculum to enhance the level of patient safety knowledge, skills and attitudes in ADN students. This study was partially funded by The QSEN Institute.
