- Statistical analysis included response rates, composite reliability, and Kendall's coefficient.
Key Points:
- Consensus was reached on five first-level indices, 13 s-level indices, and 27 connotations.
- High response rates (100%) and strong composite reliability (0.853-0.873) were achieved.
- Kendall's coefficient indicated significant agreement among experts (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
- The identified core competencies offer a framework for training international postgraduate nursing students in China.
