The importance of management competencies among pediatric nurse managers cannot be overstated. In Vietnam, there is a significant lack of structured training programs tailored to the specific management competencies required by nurse managers. Furthermore, existing programs lack a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a competency-based training program developed to improve the management capabilities of pediatric nurse managers in Vietnam. A one-group pretest-posttest intervention program was conducted with eligible nurse managers from two pediatric and obstetrics-pediatrics hospitals, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention included interactive workshops, group discussions, and case studies over six weeks, followed by ongoing support. Participants completed the instrument three times: before, immediately after, and during the follow-up period. Twelve nurse managers participated in this feasibility study, and all reported high satisfaction with the program. The findings demonstrated the program’s potential effectiveness in supporting nurse managers through flexible online platforms and targeted competency enhancement. Results highlighted the value of structured, tailored training in meeting the unique needs of nurse managers and emphasized the critical role of ongoing professional education in strengthening management competencies. Further research involving a larger sample of nurse managers is recommended to provide more robust evidence, supporting broader implementation and effective integration of the program into practice.
