本研究旨在比較傳統及新訓練制度於新進護理人員訓練，對提昇其護理能力之成效。採類實驗之兩組後測設計，以時間點不同，立意分派某醫學中心到職滿三個月至一年之新進護理人員至兩組，2008年為實驗組實施新制度共104人，2005年為對照組是傳統制度共78人。以結構式評量表對兩組護理人員進行評量，由新進護理人員自我評量，其臨床教師與護理長亦同時評量。教育程度、服務科別、年齡、本院年資、到本院前年資為控制變項。經控制年齡、本院年資、到本院前年資三個干擾因素後，七項效果指標中，新進護理人員自評僅研究能力為新制度顯著優於傳統制度。臨床教師評量新進護理人員能力中有六項（照顧、臨床、行政、臨床教學、研究及總護理能力）為新制度顯著優於傳統制度。護理長評量新進護理人員能力中僅照顧能力為新制度顯著優於傳統制度。綜觀之，臨床教師對新制度的肯定優於護理人員自評與護理長。建議未來效果指標中可加入客觀標準，以評量照護能力之正確性。研究結果可作為今後實施與修訂學習護照內容及教學方法並加強護理人員能力訓練之參考，進而提升照護品質。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different training programs to improve nursing competence of newly employed nurses. The quasi-experimental research design was adapted for this study. 104 newly employed (3-12 months) nurses were assigned, by random sampling to an experimental group in which a newt raining program and teaching method were used. 78 newly employed (3-12months) nurses were assigned to a control group in which the traditional training program was used. The competence was surveyed by nurses themselves, their preceptors, and head nurses, using a questionnaire comprising six competence categories. The results indicated that the self-report competence in research skills was significantly better in the new training program group. Nursing competence, caring skills, clinical skills, administrative skills, teaching skills and research skills were evaluated as significantly better in the new training program group by the preceptors. Caring skills were evaluated as significantly better in the new training program by head nurses. These results can be used as a reference when nursing training programs are revised in the future.
