The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

4.2K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Assessing novice nurses' professional interpersonal competency is vital for retention and effective teamwork.
  • Existing instruments do not specifically target the unique needs of novice nurses.
  • Lack of specialized assessment tools hinders development and support for early-career nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and psychometrically test the Professional Interpersonal Competency Assessment Scale for Novice nurses (PICASN).
  • To evaluate the perception dimension of the PICASN specifically for novice nurses in Japan.
  • To provide a reliable and valid instrument for assessing crucial competencies in early-career nursing.

Main Methods:

  • A four-step process: concept identification, item construction, validity, and reliability testing.
  • Administered a cross-sectional web-based questionnaire to 203 novice nurses in Japan.
  • Utilized Content Validity Index (CVI), Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Cronbach's alpha for psychometric evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The 27-item PICASN achieved a Scale-CVI of 0.88 and an Item-CVI of 0.94.
  • EFA identified two factors: Basic competencies (15 items) and Relationship building (12 items), explaining 80% of variance.
  • Excellent reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha at 0.95 for the overall scale and 0.94/0.91 for factors.

Conclusions:

  • The PICASN possesses satisfactory psychometric properties for assessing novice nurses' interpersonal competency in Japan.
  • The scale enhances self-awareness and identifies areas for improvement among novice nurses.
  • It offers valuable data for nurse managers to guide interventions and improve team dynamics and quality of care.
