This study aimed to describe construction and content validation of the Brazilian Questionnaire of Competencies of Oncology Nurses.
The methodological research was constructed based on the literature and observation in Brazilian hospitals searching to identify local evidence in the nursing practice. After, the construction of the 30 items distributed in eight sub-dimensions of competencies, the instrument was tested the content validation by 7 experts and 61 oncology nurses. Item responses were analyzed through content validity index and Cronbach's α were used in this test pilot.
The content validity index of the scale was 0.90, and the content validity index of each item was 0.80-1.00. The mean of items varied between 4.98 (standard deviation = 0.13) and 4.70 (standard deviation = 0.53). The Cronbach's α of the instrument was 0.77. The Cronbach's α if each item was excluded ranged from 0.78 to 0.74, indicating consistency between items.
The instrument is concise and clear, resulting in a valid content on test pilot in conducting a self-assessment the oncology nurses. It can be used to facilitate decision-making by identifying sub-dimensions that require attention in nursing education to improve patient care.
本研究旨在描述巴西肿瘤护理能力问卷的构建及内容效度验证。
该方法学研究基于文献及对巴西医院的观察构建，旨在寻找护理实践中的本地证据。之后，构建了分布在八个能力子维度中的30个条目，该工具由7名专家和61名肿瘤护士进行内容效度测试。通过内容效度指数分析条目反应，并在本次预试验中使用克朗巴哈α系数。
该量表的内容效度指数为0.90，各条目的内容效度指数为0.80 - 1.00。条目的均值在4.98（标准差 = 0.13）至4.70（标准差 = 0.53）之间变化。该工具的克朗巴哈α系数为0.77。排除每个条目后的克朗巴哈α系数在0.78至0.74之间，表明条目间具有一致性。
该工具简洁明了，在对肿瘤护士进行自我评估的预试验中具有有效的内容。它可用于通过识别护理教育中需要关注的子维度来促进决策，以改善患者护理。
