“…However, limited methods exist for objectifying, quantifying, and measuring this concept [ 5 ]. To maintain the integrity of nursing, there is a clear need to measure the concepts of nursing and its impact on the quality of patient care [ 11 ]. Today, health care focuses on time saving and reducing costs [ 12 ], and anything that cannot be determined and quantified seems unnecessary and non-essential [ 13 ].…”

Aim We developed and psychometrically tested the Nursing Presence Scale. Background Nursing presence is a foundation for professional nursing practice; therefore, it is critical to measure this concept. Introduction This instrument development study was designed to generate an itemized scale and psychometric testing using a sample of Iranian patients. Methods Based on both a concept development and literature review, and finally face and content validity 44-item draft scale was generated. During November 2018–2019, 774 patients were surveyed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the scale’s construct validity; concurrent and predictive reliability of the nursing presence scale were also evaluated. We also examine the weighting to scale items. Results The analyses yielded a 36-item, 4-factor scale that adequately fit the data. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the whole instrument was 0.94. The intra class correlation coefficient was 0.91. Nursing Presence Scale scores were positively correlated with Revised Humane Caring Scale and predicted 25% of missed nursing care. Conclusion This 36-item has good reliability and validity, making it useful for measuring the current condition of nursing presence. Implications for Nursing and Health Policy Measuring the frequency of nursing presence allows for data-driven planning and upgrading the inpatient care services.

“…Nursing researchers have questioned the conventional hierarchy of evidence, where randomized controlled clinical trials and objective empirical evidence reign supreme (Rycroft-Malone et al, 2004;Thorne, Stephens, & Truant, 2016). In evidence-based nursing practice, scholars question the ontology of evidence, calling for integration of multiple sources of knowledge, including knowledge derived from clinical experience, patients and families and diverse contexts and environments (Clark, Draper, & Taylor, 2018;Durepos, Orr, Ploeg, & Kaasalainen, 2018;Rycroft-Malone et al, 2004;Thorne, 2018). As an applied science, nursing knowledge is both theoretical and contextual (Thorne et al, 2016).…”

Aims Describe the implementation and uses of fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) as a constructive method for meeting the unique and rapidly evolving needs of nursing inquiry and practice. Design Discussion paper. Data sources Drawing on published scholarship of cognitive mapping from the fields of ecological management, information technology, economics, organizational behaviour and health development, we consider how FCM can contribute to contemporary challenges and aspirations of nursing research. Implications for nursing Fuzzy cognitive mapping can generate theory, describe knowledge systems in comparable terms and inform questionnaire design and dialogue. It can help build participant–researcher partnerships, elevate marginalized voices and facilitate intercultural dialogue. As a relatively culturally safe and foundational approach in participatory research, we suggest that FCM should be used in settings of transcultural nursing, patient engagement, person‐ and family‐centred care and research with marginalized populations. FCM is amenable to rigorous analysis and simultaneously allows for greater participation of stakeholders. Conclusion In highly complex healthcare contexts, FCM can act as a common language for defining challenges and articulating solutions identified within the nursing discipline. Impact There is a need to reconcile diverse sources of knowledge to meeting the needs of nursing inquiry. FCM can generate theory, describe knowledge systems, facilitate dialogue and support questionnaire design. In its capacity to engage multiple perspectives in defining problems and identifying solutions, FCM can contribute to advancing nursing research and practice.
