Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study is to examine the factor structure, internal consistency reliability and responsiveness of an instrument related to the informatics competency of nurses.

Background

Informatics is a scientific discipline that needs to be integrated into nursing practice. There is no current and valid tool to measure the informatics competency of nurses in Turkey.

Design

This study has a methodological design.

Methods

The Self-Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competency Scale-18 was used to collect data. The original scale was translated into Turkish in a process of forward and back-translation. Data were collected in a setting of 190 respondents with a random subsample in a hospital. Internal reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. The factor structure of the instrument was determined through exploratory factor analysis. Factorial invariance was tested in a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis.

Results

Exploratory analysis with varimax rotation extracted three factors comprising 18 items that explained 62.1 % of the variance: applied computer skills (α=.91), role (α=.67) and basic computer skills (α=.77).

Conclusion

The current version of the instrument is well grounded in the theoretical framework of informatics competence in nursing practice.

护理信息学能力量表的文化适应研究。

目的：本研究的目的是检验一个与护士信息学能力相关的工具的因素结构、内部一致性、信度和反应性。背景：信息学是一门需要融入护理实践的科学学科。目前没有有效的工具来衡量土耳其护士的信息学能力。设计：本研究采用方法学设计。方法：采用《护理信息学能力自评量表-18》进行资料收集。原始音阶在前后翻译的过程中被翻译成土耳其语。数据是在一家医院随机抽取的190名受访者中收集的。内部信度采用Cronbach’s alpha检验。通过探索性因子分析确定了仪器的因子结构。在多组验证性因子分析中检验因子不变性。结果：探索性分析提取了应用计算机技能（α= 0.91）、角色（α= 0.67）和计算机基本技能（α= 0.77）三个因素，共18个项目，解释了62.1 %的方差。结论：当前版本的工具很好地建立在护理实践信息学能力的理论框架基础上。

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
