I sistemi sanitari hanno bisogno di professionisti formati e competenti per adeguarsi ai cambiamenti sociodemografici, agli effetti della globalizzazione e all’evoluzione delle tecnologie. Le competenze sono uno snodo strategico, consentono di far dialogare diversi sottosistemi (istituzioni, università, imprese e lavoro) per definire i traguardi di specifiche tipologie di corsi di studio. Il presente lavoro, a dodici anni dall’avvio in Italia della laurea specialistica/magistrale in scienze infermieristiche e ostetriche, ha la finalità di fare il punto riguardo le competenze che distinguono il professionista laureato così da riuscire a individuare la visione condivisa degli esperti e prefigurare il futuro della figura del laureato magistrale.Materiali e metodi E’ stato utilizzato il metodo Delphi con la formazione di un panel di 8 esperti a cui sono stati somministrati 2 questionari. Il primo con 10 temi di indagine su cui esprimere liberamente il proprio pensiero; il secondo, risultante dalla sintesi delle risposte del primo, sulle quali esprimere il grado di accordo con le singole affermazioni.Risultati Gli esperti concordano nel ritenere che la formazione ha un ruolo prioritario per lo sviluppo delle competenze distintive; trovano maggior consenso e uniformità di giudizio, leadership e lavoro di squadra. Le competenze che sono state delineate tratteggiano la figura di un middle manager i cui margini di attività sono: organizzare, coordinare e supervisionare un team di persone e anche interi processi clinico/organizzativi.Conclusioni Questa indagine consente di tracciare nuove linee di discussione per lo sviluppo del profilo del laureato magistrale e del suo core curriculum.

Abstract
ntroduction Health systems need trained and competent professionals to meet socio-demographic changes, the effects of globalization and the evolution of technology. Professional skills are a strategic hub to put in communication different subsystems (education, university, work) to define what goals of specific types of study courses should be considered.Twelve years after starting the master’s degree in nursing, this study aims to focus on the distinctive skills of the professional graduate, so as to be able to identify the shared vision of the experts and prefigure the future of the master’s degree.Methods For this survey, we used Delphi method: a panel of 8 experts was formed, to whom two questionnaires were administered. The first one was composed of 10 topics of investigation on which they can express freely their opinion; the second one, the result from the synthesis of the first answers, to express the degree of agreement on individual statements.Results Experts agree that education plays a major role in contributing to the development of core competencies. Among the skills required the “teamwork” and the “leadership” have greater consensus and uniformity of opinion.The outlined skills present a middle manager who has the role of organizing, coordinating and supervising not only a team of people, but also entire clinical/organizational processes.Conclusions This survey allows to draw new lines of discussion for the development of the master's degree and its core curriculum.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
