“…Competence in the nursing field involves the cognitive, social, and psychomotor skills needed by nurses to safely perform their work (Jaensson, Falk‐Brynhildsen, Gillespie, Wallentin, & Nilsson, ). According to Patricia Benner's () nursing model, newly graduated nurses reach proficiency by passing through five stages: a novice stage, an advanced beginner stage, a competent stage, a proficient stage, and an expert stage.…”

“…Various tools have been developed to evaluate the competencies of nurses (Clinton, Murrells, & Robinson, ; Cowan, Wilson‐Barnett, Norman, & Murrells, ; Gillespie, Polit, et al, ; Meretoja et al, ; Nilsson et al, ; Takase & Teraoka, ) (Table ). In one study, it was stated that the evaluation of competence via self‐evaluations, which are widely accepted and time effective, helps to identify the areas that are in need of development, and at the same time allows nurses to evaluate their practices (Jaensson et al, ). Competence scales are used to evaluate the general competencies of nurses (e.g.…”

Assessment tools other than those currently available are needed to assess the technical and non-technical competencies of operating room nurses. In this study, a methodological design was applied to perform a Turkish adaptation of the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised and to conduct a psychometric analysis of the scale for its use in Turkish society. The study was conducted in two public medical faculty hospitals and three training and research hospitals located in Istanbul. The sample for the study consisted of 206 operating room nurses working in these five hospitals. Following the confirmation of the language and content validities of the scale, test-retest and internal consistency analyses were performed, and the scale's construct validity was examined. The 40 items and six subscales on the original scale were preserved in the Turkish version. Goodness-of-fit indices of the model indicated that a six factor construct was good and supported at an acceptable level. The scale, intended for use by nurse managers to evaluate the competencies of operating room nurses, can be applied to evaluate the professional development and performance of nurses and to identify their training needs and paths of clinical career advancement.

“…To date, the assessment instruments used to measure nurse competence in anaesthesia nursing care have been generic nursing instruments [17][18][19]24,32,33 or have measured the anaesthesia nurse's competence by dividing it into technical skills 7,8,14,15,23,35 and nontechnical skills. 29,40 Existing generic nursing competence instruments have been used to assess nurses' competence across fields of nursing.…”

“…For instance, the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R) is a useful instrument to assess and compare anaesthesia nurses' perioperative nursing competence with that of scrub nurses' and circulating nurses' . 17,18,24 However, the PPCS-R does not fully address specialized competence areas required for sedated/anaesthetized patient care where patients are not able to make their own decision and are highly dependent on technology and medication during the anaesthesia care process. 26 Thus, using a generic instrument engenders difficulties grasping such special areas of anaesthesia nursing care.…”

“…The self-assessment method enables nurses to evaluate their competence by seeking a reference such as contextual standards in practice. 17,24 Globally, anaesthesia nursing care has been generally provided by two types of nurses based on their educational level: anaesthesia nurses (registered nurses [RNs]) who have undergone additional training at hospitals and nurse anaesthetists (certified registered nurse anaesthetists [CRNAs]) who have postregistration education in anaesthesia care. 1,25,36 At present, anaesthesia nursing care is expanding beyond the operating rooms to various clinical settings such as emergency rooms and diagnostic procedures.…”

Rationale, aims, and objectives: The competence of nurses in anaesthesia care is important for the quality of anaesthesia nursing care and patient safety. However, there is a lack of psychometrically tested instruments to measure the competence.Therefore, this study aimed to develop and test the psychometric properties of an anaesthesia nursing competence scale (AnestComp) assessing nurses' competence in anaesthesia care. Method:The scale development and psychometric testing had three phases: (1) based on literature reviews and the description of experts, competence areas were identified and items were created; (2) the content validity of the scale was tested by a content expert group, and the scale was pilot tested; and (3) psychometric testing of scale was tested by anaesthesia nurses' (n = 222) and nursing students' (n = 205) self-assessments. The psychometric testing assessed the reliability when using Cronbach's α and the construct validity using factor analyses (confirmatory and exploratory) and known-group technique. Nursing students were included for the purpose of construct validity testing. Results:The AnestComp has 39 items and consists of seven competence areas: (a) ethics of anaesthesia care, (b) patient's risk care, (c) patient engagement with technology, (d) collaboration within patient care, (e) anaesthesia patient care with medication, (f) peri-anaesthesia nursing intervention, and (g) knowledge of anaesthesia patient care. Cronbach's α values were high in all categories (0.83-0.95), and factor analyses and known-group technique supported a seven-factor model. Conclusion:The initial results supported the reliability and construct validity of the AnestComp. The scale is considered a promising instrument for measuring anaesthesia nursing competence among anaesthesia nurses. Further research with larger and more diverse samples is suggested to refine the current psychometric evaluation.

Psychometric Validation of the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised in the Swedish Context

Abstract: Psychometric testing of the Swedish translation of the PPCS-R suggests a good construct validity, and the construct and its six factors are conceptually relevant among the Swedish OR nurses and RNAs.
