Abstract

Aim

To evaluate the reliability of the ECOEnfSM scale as a tool to assess the professional competencies of Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (MHNP) in their clinical practice.

Method

A pilot study, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional, focuses on MHNP who have completed their Specialized Health Training Program (SHTP) in Spain. The data were collected by general and collaborators mentors of the Multiprofessional Teaching Units (MTUs). The Mental Health Nursing Competency Assessment Tool (ECOEnfSM) was used, which consists of three subscales and eight Competence Units (CU). A reliability and validity analysis were conducted (Cronbach's alpha and Spearman's correlation coefficient).

Results

The Rotation Assessment subscales showed excellent reliability (r > 0.90) with high and very high correlations (r > 0.6) in all UCs with high levels of significance (P < .01). The Annual Assessment subscale showed good reliability (r > 0.80) with a medium and very high correlation (r > 0.4) with high levels of significance (P < .01). All UCs showed a good to excellent consistency (r > 0.80). The “Home Visits” assessment criterion showed heterogeneity of data due to there are few MTUs that fully develop it.

Conclusion

The ECOEnfSM scale showed very high reliability in MHNP during their training program in Spain. The ECOEnfSM is considered the only objective tool in Spain to assess the professional competencies in this population.

心理健康护士能力评估工具（ECOEnfSM）的可靠性：一项试点研究。

目的：评估 ECOEnfSM 量表作为评估心理健康执业护士（MHNP）在临床实践中的专业能力的工具的可靠性：方法：这是一项观察性、描述性和横断面试点研究，主要针对西班牙完成专业健康培训计划（SHTP）的心理健康护士。数据由多专业教学单位（MTU）的普通导师和合作导师收集。研究使用了心理健康护理能力评估工具（ECOEnfSM），该工具由三个分量表和八个能力单元（CU）组成。对其进行了信度和效度分析（Cronbach's alpha 和 Spearman's 相关系数）：轮调评估分量表显示出极佳的可靠性（r > 0.90），在所有能力单元中都具有高度和极高的相关性（r > 0.6），显著性水平较高（p 0.80），具有中等和极高的相关性（r > 0.4），显著性水平较高（p 0.80）。家访 "评估标准显示出数据的不一致性，这是因为很少有医疗单位全面开展这项工作：ECOEnfSM量表在西班牙的培训项目中显示出非常高的可靠性。ECOEnfSM 被认为是西班牙评估该人群专业能力的唯一客观工具。
