it is widely accepted that living in the digital transformation era, the need to develop and update new professional skills and tools in health sectors is crucially important. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the reliability and validity of the Digital Competence Indicators tool in assessing the digital skills of Greek health professionals.
in this cross-sectional study, 494 health professionals, including doctors (175) and registered nurses (319) working in four Greek hospitals were recruited and willingly participated using a convenience-sampling method. The original framework of Digital Competence Indicators was translated from English to Greek based on guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires. The validity of the tool was explored using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to verify the fit of the model using inductive techniques. The instrument reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's Omega coefficients.
the reliability was estimated at 0.826 (Cronbach's-α) and 0.850 (McDonald's Omega-ω). The indicators of CFA were all calculated within an ideal range of acceptance. Specifically, the CFA comparative fit index produced the following adjustment indices: x/df = 1.152 ( = 0.037), CFI = 0.997, Lewis index (TLI) = 0.966, and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.018.
The present study demonstrated that the Digital Competence Indicator instrument has high reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity and, therefore, it is suitable for measuring digital skills of health professionals.
在数字转型时代,卫生部门开发和更新新的专业技能及工具的需求至关重要,这一点已得到广泛认可。因此,本研究旨在探讨数字能力指标工具在评估希腊卫生专业人员数字技能方面的可靠性和有效性。
在这项横断面研究中,采用便利抽样方法招募了希腊四家医院的494名卫生专业人员,包括医生(175名)和注册护士(319名),他们自愿参与。数字能力指标的原始框架根据问卷跨文化适应指南从英语翻译成希腊语。使用验证性因素分析(CFA)探索该工具的有效性,以归纳技术验证模型的拟合度。使用克朗巴哈α系数(α)和麦克唐纳欧米茄系数确认工具的可靠性。
可靠性估计值为0.826(克朗巴哈α系数)和0.850(麦克唐纳欧米茄系数)。CFA的指标均在理想的接受范围内计算得出。具体而言,CFA比较拟合指数产生了以下调整指数:x/df = 1.152(p = 0.037),CFI = 0.997,塔克 - 刘易斯指数(TLI) = 0.966,近似误差均方根(RMSEA) = 0.018。
本研究表明,数字能力指标工具具有高可靠性、内部一致性和结构效度,因此适用于测量卫生专业人员的数字技能。
