Abstract:
Objective To develop a basic competency assessment scale for generalist nurse in palliative care and test its reliability and validity.Methods The pre-test scale items pool was formed after literature review,internal discussion in the group,consultation with experts and small sample pre-survey. From January to March 2021,the pre-test scale was used to investigate 1000 nurses in various wards including internal medicine,surgery,emergency,obstetrics and gynaecology,and intensive care units.The results were analyzed by SPSS software and AMOS software to undertake item analysis,exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to develop the final scale.Results Five common factors and 37 entries were identified by factor analysis and explained 71.031％ of the total variance.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.953,the split-half reliability and the test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.772 and 0.963.The confirmatory factor analysis model fitted well,with x2/df=2.57,root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.059,comparative fit index (CFI)=0.909,incremental fit index(IFI)=0.910,and Tucker-Lewis index(TLI)=0.901.Conclusion Our developed basic competency assessment scale for generalist nurse in palliative care has good reliability and validity,and can be used to evaluate the basic competency of palliative care for generalist nurses.
