Area of Science:

Nursing Education Research
Healthcare Professional Competency Assessment

Background:

Nurse educators' competence is crucial for high-quality nursing education.
Standardized and validated instruments are needed to assess this competence effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize instruments used for assessing nurse educators' competence.
To examine the reporting of psychometric properties for these instruments.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage process.
Literature searches included CINAHL, MEDLINE, and ERIC databases (2000-2020), supplemented by hand searches.
Thematic synthesis was employed to analyze 25 included studies.

Main Results:

Nineteen distinct instruments for assessing nurse educators' competence were identified.
Key competence areas included pedagogical and nursing skills, with leadership/managerial competence also noted.
Significant variation was found in the theoretical underpinnings and the reporting of psychometric properties across instruments.

Conclusions:

Assessing nurse educators' competence comprehensively necessitates considering diverse theoretical frameworks and employing multiple validated instruments.
Instrument selection should align with the chosen theoretical background and prioritize valid measurement properties.
Competent nurse educators are essential for fostering excellence in nursing education.
