Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Information Technology Evaluation
  • Psychometric Scale Development

Background:

  • The increasing integration of information technology in healthcare necessitates robust tools for evaluating health information systems.
  • Computerized Nursing Care Plan (CNCP) systems are becoming prevalent, requiring validated instruments for assessing their impact and usability.
  • Assessing the psychometric properties of evaluation tools is crucial for reliable and valid measurement in nursing informatics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the psychometric testing of a newly developed scale designed to evaluate Computerized Nursing Care Plan (CNCP) systems.
  • To establish the construct validity and reliability of the CNCP evaluation scale.
  • To determine nurses' perceptions regarding the use of CNCP systems.

Main Methods:

  • A 44-item questionnaire was developed based on a literature review.
  • The questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 729 hospital nurses in Taiwan.
  • Factor analysis (principal component analysis with varimax rotation) and item analysis were employed to refine the scale and assess its psychometric properties.

Main Results:

  • A 22-item scale was finalized, encompassing 6 constructs: patient care, nursing efficiency, professionalism, usage benefit, education and training, and usability.
  • The scale demonstrated good reliability, with an overall alpha coefficient of 0.85.
  • Statistical analysis indicated that nurses generally perceived the CNCP system positively, valuing its use.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 22-item scale is a psychometrically sound instrument for evaluating CNCP systems.
  • Nurses' positive valuation suggests potential benefits of CNCP systems in clinical practice.
  • Further psychometric validation in diverse nursing populations and refinement of the scale are recommended.
