Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Communication Skills Assessment
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Effective interpersonal communication is vital for nursing practice.

  • A validated scale is needed to evaluate these competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate interpersonal communication capabilities in basic nursing education.
  • To develop and validate an interpersonal communication skill scale for nursing students.
  • To align the scale with microcounseling theory.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative analytical design utilizing a self-efficacy survey.
  • Administered a 28-item survey to 208 female nursing students.
  • Employed descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and correlation analysis for validity and reliability testing.

Main Results:

  • Developed a 20-item, 4-factor interpersonal communication skill scale.
  • The scale demonstrated satisfactory reliability and content/criterion-related validity.
  • 18 items were classified according to microcounseling techniques.

Conclusions:

  • The developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing nursing students' interpersonal communication skills.
  • The scale, grounded in microcounseling theory, can inform nursing education and practice.
  • Further research can explore its application in diverse nursing populations.
