To translate the Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form English version into Arabic and psychometrically validate its properties among Saudi citizen nurses.
Evaluating nurses' professional competence is vital in delivering safe, cost-effective care and developing healthcare systems. However, psychometrically reliable and validated nurse competence scales in Arabic-speaking countries remain scant.
A descriptive cross-sectional design adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.
Participant nurses (n = 598) were conveniently recruited from four government-owned hospitals and completed the Arabic-translated 35-item Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form. We used Spearman's rank-order correlation, exploratory factor analysis, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test, and confirmatory factor analysis to analyze the data.
After exploratory factor analysis and reliability analyses, several items of the Arabic-translated 35-item Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form were omitted due to high inter-item correlations and low factor loading difference. The Arabic version of the Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form was reduced to 21 items, consisting of a three-factor structure: Professional Care Pedagogics, Holistic Value-Based Care, and Direct Nursing Care. Results also demonstrated that the revised three-factor structure had good overall scale reliability, good subscale internal consistencies, and acceptable construct validity using the confirmatory factor analysis.
The 21-item Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form Arabic version is a useful scale, having demonstrated construct validity and reliability. Therefore, nurse managers in Arabic-speaking nations could assess their nurses' professional competence using the 21-item Nurse Professional Competence Scale-Short Form Arabic version to develop proactive programs that enhance professional competence.
将护士专业能力量表简版英文版本翻译成阿拉伯语，并在沙特阿拉伯护士群体中对其属性进行心理测量学验证。
评估护士的专业能力对于提供安全、具成本效益的护理以及发展医疗保健系统至关重要。然而，在阿拉伯语国家，心理测量学上可靠且经过验证的护士能力量表仍然很少。
遵循加强流行病学观察性研究报告指南的描述性横断面设计。
从四家政府所有的医院方便地招募了参与研究的护士（n = 598），他们完成了阿拉伯语翻译的35项护士专业能力量表简版。我们使用斯皮尔曼等级相关、探索性因子分析、凯泽 - 迈耶 - 奥尔金检验和验证性因子分析来分析数据。
经过探索性因子分析和信度分析，由于项目间相关性高和因子负荷差异低，阿拉伯语翻译的35项护士专业能力量表简版中的几个项目被省略。护士专业能力量表简版阿拉伯语版本缩减为21项，由三因素结构组成：专业护理教学法、基于整体价值观的护理和直接护理。结果还表明，使用验证性因子分析，修订后的三因素结构具有良好的整体量表信度、良好的子量表内部一致性和可接受的结构效度。
21项护士专业能力量表简版阿拉伯语版本是一个有用的量表，已证明其具有结构效度和信度。因此，阿拉伯语国家的护士管理者可以使用21项护士专业能力量表简版阿拉伯语版本来评估护士的专业能力，以制定提高专业能力的积极方案。
