A validated tool was developed to assess competencies for authentic patient encounters via narratives.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the development, validation, and implementation of the Relationship Competencies Guiding Tool.
To illustrate how tool items reflect in nurses' clinical narratives and justify scoring.
To describe narrative interpretation using the tool and identify application barriers/facilitators.

Main Methods:

Instrument development study with three steps: conceptualization, item generation, and content validation.
Implementation involved evaluating 25 clinical narratives using the tool.
One narrative underwent linguistic analysis for interpretative strategies.

Main Results:

The Relationship Competencies Guiding Tool was successfully developed, validated, and implemented.
The tool aids nurses in developing relationship-based competencies and guides evaluators in scoring.
Barriers and facilitators to tool application were identified during the evaluation process.

Conclusions:

The Relationship Competencies Guiding Tool is clear, relevant, and suitable for evaluating clinical narratives.
It can assess how nurses reflect professional competencies in narratives.
The tool serves as a preliminary step for developing a measurement instrument for nurse-patient relationship competencies.
