Nursing Group Empowerment: Instrument Revision
Background And Purpose:
The Sieloff-King Assessment of Group Empowerment with Organizations (SKAGEO) has demonstrated consistent reliability and validity, although past participants reported the need for revisions to further improve its clarity and ease of use in research. The purpose of this research was to use focus groups to revise the SKAGEO.
Methods:
Two focus groups were held (seven RNs and one student nurse). Thematic analysis was used to analyze the focus group discussions.
Results:
Five major themes, and eleven subthemes, were identified as areas for future revisions to further improve the instrument's clarity and use in research.
Conclusions:
Revisions in the SKAGEO, based on the areas identified by the focus groups, would result in an instrument that would more easily be understood and incorporated into research.
