"Background: Nurses have a great impact on the safety and caring quality of surgical patients; however, there is limited information on perioperative nursing competence in Chinese literature.Purpose: This study is to translate the English version of the 'Perceived Perioperative Competence ScaleRevised' into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of this Chinese version with the goal to establish an appropriate perioperative competence assessment tool in Taiwan.Methods: The 'back-translation' method was adopted to translate the perioperative nursing competence scale from English into Chinese version. In addition to the validity, a convenient sample of 183 operating room nurses were recruited from hospitals in southern Taiwan to test the reliability of the scale as well as the inter-rater consistency.Results: The expert validity of the scale for Chinese version was .93. For test-retest reliability, the overall correlation coefficient was .82 and six subscales ranged from .76 to .81. For internal consistency, the overall Cronbach’sαwas .98, and the six subscales ranged from .83 to .91. For the inter-rater consistency, the overall correlation coefficient was 0.94 and the subscales ranged from .88 to ~ .93. The years of experience, advanced level, and certification of perioperative nursing were related to the competence , indicating the criterion validity.Conclusion: The Chinese version of the Perioperative Nursing Competence Scale has a good validity and reliability and can be used to assess the nursing competence in operating rooms. The tool can also be used to evaluate the outcome of an education or a training program." |
