- Abstract
Objective: Competence assessment is needed to provide quality nursing care. In our country, no valid and reliable measurement tool evaluates the competence of intensive critical care nurses. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Intensive and Critical Care Nursing Competence Scale (ICCN-CS-1TR). Material and Methods: This study was conducted as methodological and cross-sectional. A total of 432 intensive and critical care nurses working in İzmir province were included in this study. The data of the study were collected using the Nurse Information Form and the ICCN-CS-1TR. The descriptive data and the exploratory factor analysis were assessed on a computer using the SPSS 16.0 statistics software, and the confirmatory factor analysis was performed using the LISREL 8 for Windows. Results: According to the exploratory factor analysis, the factor loads of the scale ranged from 0.31 and 0.75. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.98. Item-to-total correlation coefficients were between 0.43 and 0.70. The fit indexes of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale was at an acceptable level. Conclusion: ICCN-CS-1TR is a valid and reliable scale to evaluate the competence of intensive care and critical care nurses in Turkey.
