Evaluation of clinical competency in nurses has a distinct importance in healthcare due to its significant impact on improving the quality of patient care and creation of opportunities for professional promotion. This is a psychometric study for development of the "Clinical Competency of Mental Health Nursing"(CCMHN) rating scale.
In this methodological research that was conducted in 2015, in Tehran, Iran, the main items were developed after literature review and the validity and reliability of the tool were identified. The face, content (content validity ratio and content validity index) and construct validities were calculated. For face and content validity, experts' comments were used. Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity. The reliability of scale was determined by the internal consistency and inter-rater correlation. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS version 16, using descriptive statistical analysis.
A scale with 45 items in two parts including Emotional/Moral and Specific Care competencies was developed. Content validity ratio and content validity index were 0.88, 0.97 respectively. Exploratory factor analysis indicated two factors: The first factor with 23.93 eigenvalue and second factor with eigenvalue 2.58. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for determination of internal consistency was 0.98 and the ICC for confirmation inter-rater correlation was 0.98.
A scale with 45 items and two areas was developed with appropriate validity and reliability. This scale can be used to assess the clinical competency in nursing students and mental health nurses.
护士临床能力评估在医疗保健中具有独特的重要性，因为它对提高患者护理质量和创造职业晋升机会具有重大影响。这是一项关于编制“心理健康护理临床能力”（CCMHN）评定量表的心理测量学研究。
在2015年于伊朗德黑兰进行的这项方法学研究中，主要项目在文献综述后确定，工具的效度和信度得以确定。计算了表面效度、内容效度（内容效度比和内容效度指数）和结构效度。表面效度和内容效度通过专家意见确定。探索性因子分析用于确定结构效度。量表的信度通过内部一致性和评分者间相关性确定。收集的数据使用SPSS 16版进行分析，采用描述性统计分析。
编制了一个包含情感/道德和特定护理能力两部分共45个条目的量表。内容效度比和内容效度指数分别为0.88和0.97。探索性因子分析表明有两个因子：第一个因子特征值为23.93，第二个因子特征值为2.58。用于确定内部一致性的Cronbach's α系数为0.98，用于确认评分者间相关性的组内相关系数为0.98。
编制了一个包含45个条目、两个领域的量表，具有适当的效度和信度。该量表可用于评估护理专业学生和心理健康护士的临床能力。
