Competent nurse managers (NM) are essential to create safe and healthy work environments and support frontline nurses. Measuring NM competence with a valid and reliable instrument is critical in research. We assessed the psychometric properties of the Nurse Manager Competency Instrument for Research (NMCIR). Item analysis, internal consistency analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed with a sample of 594 NMs. The NMCIR showed high internal consistency. The 26 items were loaded on ten factors with a good overall fit, supporting the hypothesized factor structure. However, the findings showed poor discriminant validity. The NMCIR demonstrates sound psychometric properties for use in studies of NM competence. Further evaluation of the NMCIR is recommended to improve discriminant validity.
胜任的护士长（NM）对于创建安全和健康的工作环境以及支持一线护士至关重要。使用有效且可靠的工具来衡量 NM 的能力在研究中至关重要。我们评估了用于研究的护士长能力工具（NMCIR）的心理测量特性。对 594 名 NM 的样本进行了项目分析、内部一致性分析和验证性因素分析。NMCIR 显示出较高的内部一致性。26 个项目被加载到十个因子上，具有较好的整体拟合度，支持假设的因子结构。然而，研究结果表明区分效度较差。NMCIR 具有良好的心理测量特性，可用于 NM 能力的研究。建议进一步评估 NMCIR 以提高区分效度。
