PURPOSE: In France, 40,000 Port-a-Cath (PAC) are inserted each year. These medical devices are prone to complications during their insertion or use. The education of patients wearing these devices could be a lever to reduce the risk of complications. The objective of this work was to develop, in a multi-professional and consensual manner, a unique and specific skills reference framework for patients with PAC and to propose it as a reference tool for health professionals. METHODS: A multidisciplinary working group was set up to draw up this reference framework of skills. The first stage of the work consisted of a reflection leading to an exhaustive list of competencies necessary for the patient. These skills were then classified according to three different fields of knowledge (theoretical, know-how and attitudes). Finally, the working group identified priority competencies and established a grid that can be used to evaluate the level of acquisition of these competencies. RESULTS: Fifteen competencies were identified: five relating to theoretical knowledge, six relating to know-how and four relating to attitudes. These competencies were broken down into sub-competences. Seven competencies or sub-competencies were selected to constitute the list of priority competencies. DISCUSSION: This competency framework provides a reference framework for the education of patients with PAC and will help to harmonise practices within the different teams that care for patients with PAC.
