    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Pediatric Healthcare
    • Educational Measurement

    Background:

    • Assessing nursing competence in pediatrics is crucial.
    • Existing measures may not fully capture self-efficacy in pediatric nursing skills.
    • The Pediatric Skill Survey (PSS) was developed to address this gap.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate the Pediatric Skill Survey (PSS).
    • To evaluate the self-efficacy of nurses caring for pediatric patients.
    • To establish the reliability and validity of the PSS.

    Main Methods:

    • Item stems generated from emergency department case presentations.
    • Content validity assessed by expert judges.
    • Internal consistency and known-groups validity tested with 93 subjects.
    • Construct validity examined through correlations with knowledge and attitude in 125 nurses.

    Main Results:

    • The PSS demonstrated high internal consistency (alpha = .98) across 47 items.
    • Significant differences in PSS scores were found between laypersons, novice nurses, and expert nurses, supporting validity.
    • Positive correlations were observed between PSS scores, pediatric care knowledge, and positive attitudes toward pediatric patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The Pediatric Skill Survey (PSS) is a reliable and valid measure of pediatric nursing self-efficacy.
    • The PSS can differentiate between varying levels of nursing expertise.
    • Findings support the PSS as a valuable tool for assessing and potentially improving pediatric nursing competence.
