In order to assess nursing students' informatics competency, we need a comprehensive Korean version scale that reflects the important advances in nursing informatics and can make up for the lack of an existing measure. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the Self-Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale (SANICS) into Korean (K-SANICS) and verify its validity and reliability with nursing students.
The design of this study was a methodological approach to translate and evaluate the Korean version tool (K-SANICS). A total of 254 nursing students at four universities in Korea completed a structured questionnaire including background characteristics and the K-SANICS. Reliability and validity of the 30-item K-SANICS were evaluated using Cronbach's α, content validity, factor analysis, and contrasted groups approach.
Cronbach's α was .95. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to verify the scale's construct validity, identifying 30 items across six categories: advanced skills for clinical informatics, basic application skills, basic computer skills, roles in nursing informatics, skills for clinical applications, and attitude toward computers in nursing.
The K-SANICS may be used as a reliable assessment tool of nursing students' nursing informatics competencies. It is expected that the K-SANICS will contribute to establishing, operating, and evaluating nursing informatics curricula and also can be used in a clinical setting.
为了评估护理专业学生的信息学能力，我们需要一个全面的韩语版量表，该量表能反映护理信息学的重要进展，并弥补现有测量方法的不足。本研究旨在将护理信息学能力自我评估量表（SANICS）进行跨文化改编为韩语版（K-SANICS），并验证其在护理专业学生中的有效性和可靠性。
本研究采用方法学途径对韩语版工具（K-SANICS）进行翻译和评估。韩国四所大学的254名护理专业学生完成了一份结构化问卷，包括背景特征和K-SANICS。使用Cronbach's α、内容效度、因子分析和对比组方法对30项K-SANICS的信效度进行评估。
Cronbach's α为0.95。进行探索性因子分析以验证量表的结构效度，确定了六个类别的30个项目：临床信息学的高级技能、基本应用技能、基本计算机技能、护理信息学中的角色、临床应用技能以及对护理中计算机的态度。
K-SANICS可作为评估护理专业学生护理信息学能力的可靠工具。预计K-SANICS将有助于建立、运行和评估护理信息学课程，也可用于临床环境。
