The aims of this study were to develop a clinical care competence inventory for Traditional Chinese Medicine nurses and to test its psychometric properties. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in hospitals around Taiwan using a newly developed scale called Clinical Care Competency Inventory for Traditional Chinese Medicine Nurses. A total of 322 participants took the survey, and response rate was 95.7%. An exploratory factory analysis was used to analyze items and confirm the construct validity. Principal Component Analysis is an exploratory factor analysis used to identify the underlying dimension of the constructs of a particular scale. Six factors were determined from this study: evidence-based nursing capability, routine medical auxiliary behavior in acupuncture and moxibustion, medical auxiliary behavior in Traditional Chinese Medicine orthopedics, basic Traditional Chinese Medicine related knowledge and skills, diagnostic questioning and Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment in special conditions, and patient education about Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing which together explained 63.45% of the variance. The findings of this study can assist in the planning of in-service education for Traditional Chinese Medicine nurses. The nurse competence indicators are useful in planning nursing training and letting patients and their families know what to reasonably expect from nurses in relation to traditional Chinese medicine.
本研究旨在开发一份中医护理临床能力量表，并检验其心理测量学特性。本研究采用横断面调查方法，在台湾的医院中使用新开发的量表“中医护理临床能力量表”进行调查。共 322 名参与者参与了调查，回应率为 95.7%。采用探索性因子分析对项目进行分析，以确认结构效度。主成分分析是一种探索性因子分析，用于识别特定量表的结构的潜在维度。本研究确定了 6 个因素：循证护理能力、针灸常规医疗辅助行为、中医骨科医疗辅助行为、基础中医相关知识和技能、特殊情况下的诊断性提问和中医评估，以及中医护理患者教育，这些因素共同解释了 63.45%的方差。本研究的结果可协助规划中医护理在职教育。护士能力指标可用于规划护理培训，并让患者及其家属了解与中医相关的护士的合理期望。
