However, each method resulted in differences in competence for total scores and dimensions. The highest competence was in direct patient care (mean?=?3.55, SD?=?0.53), and the lowest score was in monitoring the quality of patient care (mean?=?3.30, SD?=?0.82).post hocanalysis shown that supervisor assessment rated professional competence significantly lower than the method of self-assessment and peer assessment (F?=?10.07,p?.001).ConclusionNPs require?an increased effort to continuous learning for enhancing professional competencies.
