Abstract:
Objective:To develop a Pain Management Nursing Competency Evaluation Index System for surgical nurses, providing a framework for assessing their pain management competency and guiding in-service training programs.Methods:From December 2023 to July 2024, a research team employed literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, expert consultations, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the content and weight of the competency evaluation index system. A cross-sectional survey was subsequently conducted using convenience sampling on 788 surgical nurses to test the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and content validity of the index system.Results:The response rates for the two rounds of expert consultations were both 100% (46/46), with an expert authority coefficient of 0.921; the Kendall′s coefficients of expert opinions for the primary indicators were 0.106 and 0.245, respectively. The final index system included seven primary indicators (routine pain assessment, assessment and management of active and unexpected pain, pharmacological pain management, patient-controlled analgesia nursing, non-pharmacological pain management, pain related education for patients and their families, and professional development), 23 secondary indicators, and 78 tertiary indicators. The overall Cronbach α was 0.991, the test-retest reliability was 0.493, the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.96 to 1.00, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.98.Conclusions:The pain management nursing competency evaluation index system for surgical nurses is scientifically valid, reliable, and practical. It offers a solid foundation for evaluating the pain management competencies of surgical nurses and designing targeted in-service training programs.
