Aims
To describe the theoretical procedures for the development of the Professional Nursing Communication Competence instrument, determine the content validity and describe the pilot test application.
Background
Measuring instruments must be developed in accordance with the context and communication process by adopting theoretical procedures based on competence structures to support quality patient‐centred care and nursing management.
Methods
A methodological study was employed. The instrument was developed by using content‐validated theoretical construct in accordance with 33 communication theories followed by semantic analysis and content validity by experts. The instrument was tested over three phases: before the lecture on professional nursing communication competence, after the simulation scenario experience and after debriefing.
Results
The instrument showed an extremely high agreement (CVI = 0.99). Linear regression suggested three domains of the 46‐item content‐validated instrument comprising knowledge (18 items), skills (12 items) and attitudes (16 items).
Conclusion
The instrument was found to measure professional communication competence with a high theoretical reliability of the contexts and processes through a simulation strategy.
Implications for Nursing Management
Nursing educators, managers and staff can adopt the Professional Nursing Communication Competence (IMC‐CPE) instrument to improve the effectiveness level of knowledge, skills and attitudes to reduce misunderstanding among team members and health care errors.
This study developed a measuring instrument of pressure‐injury risk assessment competence for nursing education adopting theoretical procedures based on competence structuration to support the psychometric quality. The objective of this study is testing the psychometric properties of the instrument using simulation strategy and to determine the instrument's standardisation and normalisation. A methodological study was designed. The instrument was developed by a content‐validated theoretical construct administered to 155 undergraduate nursing students from universities in the northeast and south of Brazil using simulation. The instrument was applied over three phases: before the lecture on pressure‐injury risk assessment competence, after scenario of simulation experience, and after debriefing experience. The instrument comprised 32 items. The factorial analysis found that three domains explained 64.6% and 62.18% of the total variance in post‐scenario and debriefing cases. The perfect and very high discrimination index of the instrument indicated minimal differences in measured latent trait levels. It also found that reliability was excellent (0.973 and 0.967). Moreover, an equation applicable to instruments using study's theoretical procedure was proposed. The instrument was found to be a valid, accurate, and reliable educational tool for pressure‐injury risk assessment competence.
Objetivo: analisar a comunicação de informações epidemiológicas para a adesão da população às medidas de controle, na perspectiva de Pierre Levy e Littlejohn.Desenvolvimento: a reflexão contextualiza a influência das informações online, mídias sociais e televisão na construção da cibercultura brasileira. Foi analisada a importância de informações epidemiológicas detalhadas, incluindo deficiências no rastreamento de contatos e na expansão da cobertura dos testes, para o efetivo engajamento comunitário.Conclusão: a comunicação em massa contribui efetivamente para nova inteligência coletiva em ciberespaços que caracterizam a cibercultura brasileira. Quanto mais transparentes forem as informações oficiais, maior adesão e apoio das populações no controle da pandemia.
