Abstract:
The Critical Incident Video (CIV) Project is a mixed method longitudinal study that uses CIVs to prepare nursing faculty members to address common teaching challenges. CIVs are short videos that present unresolved teaching challenges. Given the lack of specific instruments for evaluating the usefulness of CIVs, the aim of this phase of the project was to develop and test two instruments measuring the pedagogical effects of CIVs. The CIV Preparation and Confidence Scale (CIVPCS©) and the CIV Simulation Experience Scale (CIVSES©) were assessed for validity and reliability. Using a Delphi method, a convenience sample of 23 nurse educators provided feedback enhancing the validity and clarity of the CIVPCS©. Reliability of the CIVPCS© was determined using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest method. No changes were recommended for the CIVSES©. Findings from the assessment of these newly developed CIV instruments are reported and implications for faculty development are discussed.
