Abstract: In this study, we identified key components of financial‐analysis education for clinical nurses. We used a literature review, focus group discussions, and a content validity index survey to develop key components of financial‐analysis education. First, a wide range of references were reviewed, and 55 financial‐analysis education components were gathered. Second, two focus group discussions were performed; the participants were 11 nurses who had worked for more than 3 years in a hospital, and nine components were agreed upon. Third, 12 professionals, including professors, nurse executive, nurse managers, and an accountant, participated in the content validity index. Finally, six key components of financial‐analysis education were selected. These key components were as follows: understanding the need for financial analysis, introduction to financial analysis, reading and implementing balance sheets, reading and implementing income statements, understanding the concepts of financial ratios, and interpretation and practice of financial ratio analysis. The results of this study will be used to develop an education program to increase financial‐management competency among clinical nurses.
