Abstract

The evaluation of the competencies corresponding to the different professional profiles of future nursing graduates is fundamental to their training. In this regard, students' self-evaluation must be part of their training. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the Perceived Self-Efficacy in Nursing Competencies (PSENC) Scale. This study was conducted in two phases: selecting and adjusting items and assessing the instrument's psychometric properties. A sample of 1416 students completed the scale online. Exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Inferential analysis was carried out. The exploratory factor analysis of the PSENC scale with 20 items resulted in five factors (76.3% of variance). All factors showed Cronbach's alpha coefficients > 0.70. The confirmatory factor analysis measurement model showed satisfactory and adequate goodness-of-fit indices. The developed scale showed the psychometric adequacy and usefulness to the self-assessment of nursing students regarding their self-efficacy expectations in competencies during their clinical practicum. This study was not registered.

学生临床实习期间护理能力的自我效能感：自我评估量表的开发。

对未来护理专业毕业生的不同专业能力进行评估，是对他们进行培训的基础。在这方面，学生的自我评价必须成为其培训的一部分。本研究旨在开发护理能力自我效能感量表（PSENC）并对其进行心理测试。本研究分两个阶段进行：选择和调整项目以及评估工具的心理测量特性。1416 名学生在线完成了该量表。进行了探索性因子分析和确认性因子分析。还进行了推理分析。对 20 个项目的 PSENC 量表进行的探索性因子分析得出了五个因子（占方差的 76.3%）。所有因子的 Cronbach's alpha 系数均大于 0.70。确认性因子分析测量模型显示出令人满意和充分的拟合优度指数。所编制的量表在心理测量学上具有适当性和实用性，可用于护理专业学生在临床实习期间对其能力的自我效能期望进行自我评估。本研究未注册。
