Abstract:
Background:The development and evaluation of nurse competency is an important research area that directly impacts
the improvement of nursing quality and the optimization of the healthcare systems.
Aim:To determine the psychometric properties, specifically the reliability and content validity, of the Mongolian version
of the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses.
Materials and Methods:Research approval was obtained from the research ethics committee of the MNUMS (approval
no. 2024/3-06), and adhering to ethical principles. Copyright owners granted permission to the principal investigator (PI)
to use and translate the CIRN. Three bilingual experts were invited to be involved in the forward–backward translation
process into the Mongolian language. Instrument reliability was pilot-tested with 30 nurses, who had similar characteristics
with study sample. We collected data from 550 registered nurses, randomly selected and working in 11 reference-level
and national centers in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, and five Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Centers (RDTCs) of
Mongolia.
Results:The most of participants were female (96.9%); ages ranged from 20 to 63 ages with an average of 36.50. The
internal consistency reliability of the CIRN was very high and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.97 respectively. The
content validity indices (I-CVI≥0.78, S-CVI/Ave=0.98, S-CVI/UA=0.85) indicated satisfactory content validity. Factor
analysis with Varimax rotation showed factor loadings ranging from 0.380 to 0.780.
Conclusions:1. The Mongolian version of the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN) confirmed acceptable
internal reliability.
2. The Mongolian version of the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN) was confirmed
to be a valid instrument with appropriate content validity.
