The Japanese Nurse Association (JNA) has established the JNA ladder to assess competency in various clinical nursing settings in Japan. This study developed and tested a specific Japanese community hospital's Nurse Competency Scale (the Unnan ladder).
Using the Delphi method, the contents of the Unnan ladder were identified and validated in a four-step approach. A 28-nurse panel approved 66 items; 112 community nurses assessed the content, construct concurrent validity, and internal consistency of the Unnan ladder competency scale.
The Unnan ladder data were normally distributed. Higher scores on it correlated with higher scores on the Nurse Competency Scale. The Unnan ladder categories showed good internal consistency.
This ladder's application may lead to improved nursing skills and better patient care.
日本护士协会（JNA）设立了 JNA 阶梯，以评估日本各种临床护理环境中的能力。本研究开发并测试了特定的日本社区医院的护士能力量表（宇野阶梯）。
使用 Delphi 方法，采用四步法确定和验证宇野阶梯的内容。一个由 28 名护士组成的小组批准了 66 项内容；112 名社区护士评估了宇野阶梯能力量表的内容、结构同时效度和内部一致性。
宇野阶梯的数据呈正态分布。得分较高的宇野阶梯与护士能力量表的得分较高相关。宇野阶梯的各个类别具有良好的内部一致性。
该阶梯的应用可能会提高护理技能，改善患者护理。
