Abstract

Background: The Educators and Educator Candidates' Competence in Digital Pedagogy instrument needed to be tested before using it in nursing education.

Purpose: This study describes the further testing of this instrument to measure nurse educators' digital competence.

Methods: The study is reported according to the 7 steps of the MEASURE Approach. Psychometric testing was conducted with a sample of 111 Finnish nurse educators from 9 universities of applied sciences. The study was conducted during the years 2020 and 2023.

Results: The exploratory factor analysis results explained 56% of the variance with 3 factors, including 20 items. The factors were labeled to describe the nurse educators' digital competence: implementing appropriate independent and community learning, acting safely and responsibly, and guiding learning based on the evidence. Cronbach α and McDonald ω coefficients showed good reliability.

Conclusions: The instrument can be used to assess digital competence and identify the development needs to facilitate educators' continuous professional development.

评估护士教育者数字能力的工具。

背景：目的：本研究描述了对该工具的进一步测试，以测量护士教育者的数字化能力：本研究按照 MEASURE 方法的 7 个步骤进行报告。对来自 9 所应用科学大学的 111 名芬兰护士教育工作者进行了心理测试。研究时间为 2020 年和 2023 年：探索性因子分析结果解释了 3 个因子（包括 20 个项目）56% 的方差。这些因子分别描述了护士教育者的数字化能力：实施适当的自主学习和社区学习、安全负责地行事、根据证据指导学习。Cronbach α和McDonald ω系数显示了良好的可靠性：该工具可用于评估数字化能力和确定发展需求，以促进教育工作者的持续专业发展。
