Professional Nursing Communication Competence: Theoretical procedures for instrument development and pilot test

Abstract

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.

Communication education regarding patient safety for registered nurses in acute hospital settings: a scoping review protocol

“…In order to confirm the charting form, two reviewers will extract the data from the first 10 studies as a pilot-test, and the form may be revised if necessary. The preliminary variables include (1) author, (2) year of publication, (3) the country where the study was conducted, (4) study design, (5) the theoretical foundation used in the programme, (6) duration, (7) teaching methods, (8) tool, ( 9) the use of a single-disciplinary or multidisciplinary approach and (10) the target of communication (eg, nurse to physician, nurse to nurse, nurse to patients). We will also map each article to the relevant competency of the third domain in the Canadian Patient Safety framework.…”

“…Nurses in clinical settings, in particular, place the patient at the centre of the treatment process to achieve the best health outcomes6 and are always present at every significant point of communication to ensure patient safety and the quality of care 6 7. To attain the shared goal of ensuring the safety and quality of patient care, nurses should be able to communicate closely with other nurses and various healthcare providers, as well as with patients and their families as members of one team 1.…”

Pengujian Validasi Isi (Content Validity) Angket Persepsi Mahasiswa terhadap Pembelajaran Daring Matakuliah Matematika Komputasi

“…Beberapa penelitian yang menggunakan pendekatan CVI sebagai uji validitas instrumen sudah banyak dilakukan diantaranya (Almanasreh et al, 2019;Ariska et al, 2020;Bashooir & Supahar, 2018;Heryanto et al, 2019;Nursalam et al, 2017;Rocha et al, 2020;Safitri et al, 2018;Sangoseni et al, 2013;Santoso et al, 2016;Soares et al, 2021;Sugiharni, 2018).…”

“…Pengujian validasi isi merupakan suatu proses yang dianggap penting dalam pengembangan instrument penelitian (Almanasreh et al, 2019). Instrumen penelitian yang valid merupakan alat ukur dengan kualitas teori yang tinggi (Soares et al, 2021) serta akan meningkatkan kualitas hasil dari penelitian (Rocha et al, 2020).…”

“…Validasi isi dari angket merupakan proses yang wajib dilalui dalam penelitian (Almanasreh et al, 2019). Sehingga angket ini selanjutnya dapat digunakan untuk mengambil data penelitian dan menghasilkan teori yang berkualitas (Soares et al, 2021). Selain itu penggunaan angket yang valid dapat meningkatkan kualitas hasil penelitian juga (Rocha et al, 2020).…”
