Abstract:
Objective:To develop a Core Competency Scale for Ophthalmic Specialist Nurses and test its reliability and validity.Methods:This study was a questionnaire development study. This study transformed the core competency evaluation indicators for ophthalmic specialist nurses constructed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, expert consultations, and other methods to form the initial draft of the Core Competency Scale for Ophthalmic Specialist Nurses. From October 2022 to March 2023, a survey was conducted on 364 ophthalmic specialist nurses in China using purposive and snowball sampling. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability testing were performed on the scale.Results:The final Core Competency Scale for Ophthalmic Specialist Nurses included six dimensions of ophthalmic specialized knowledge, ophthalmic specialized skills, essential nursing practice ability, communication and education ability, scientific research ability, and professional competence, totaling 30 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted six common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 73.077%. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.955, the half reliability coefficient was 0.796, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.973.Conclusions:The Core Competency Scale for Ophthalmic Specialist Nurses has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the core competency of ophthalmic specialist nurses.
