Previous research has demonstrated a correlation between nursing students' self-efficacy and their clinical performance, competence, and behavior during clinical practice placements. Assessing students' self-efficacy in clinical performance could be a valuable method for identifying areas that need reinforcement and for recognizing students who may require additional support during clinical practice placements.
This study aimed to translate the Self-Efficacy in Clinical Performance Scale (SECP) from English into Norwegian and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version.
A cross-sectional study design was used. The SECP was translated into Norwegian following a 6-step process: forward translation, forward translation synthesis, backward translation, backward translation synthesis, cognitive debriefing, and psychometric testing. The validity and reliability of the translated version were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach α, McDonald ω, and composite reliability.
A total of 399 nursing students completed the Norwegian version of the SECP. The CFA goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df ratio=1.578, comparative fit index=0.98, Tucker-Lewis index=0.98, standardized root mean square residual=0.056, root mean square error of approximation=0.038) indicated an acceptable model fit. Reliability measures, including Cronbach ⍺, McDonald ω, and composite reliability, were high, with factor-level values ranging from 0.94 to 0.98.
The Norwegian version of the SECP demonstrated strong potential as an instrument for assessing self-efficacy in both current and required competencies among nursing students in clinical practice within nursing education. Future research should aim to confirm the factor structure of the SECP and evaluate its test-retest reliability.
先前的研究表明，护理专业学生的自我效能感与他们在临床实习期间的临床表现、能力和行为之间存在相关性。评估学生在临床实践中的自我效能感可能是一种有价值的方法，可用于确定需要加强的领域，并识别出在临床实习期间可能需要额外支持的学生。
本研究旨在将《临床实践自我效能感量表》（SECP）从英文翻译成挪威文，并评估挪威文版本的心理测量特性。
采用横断面研究设计。SECP按照六个步骤翻译成挪威文：正向翻译、正向翻译综合、反向翻译、反向翻译综合、认知反馈和心理测量测试。使用验证性因子分析（CFA）、克朗巴哈α系数、麦克唐纳ω系数和组合信度来评估翻译版本的效度和信度。
共有399名护理专业学生完成了挪威文版的SECP。CFA拟合优度指标（χ2/df比率=1.578，比较拟合指数=0.98，塔克-刘易斯指数=0.98，标准化均方根残差=0.056，近似均方根误差=0.038）表明模型拟合度可接受。包括克朗巴哈α系数、麦克唐纳ω系数和组合信度在内的信度测量值较高，因子水平值在0.94至0.98之间。
挪威文版的SECP作为评估护理教育中临床实践中护理专业学生当前和所需能力的自我效能感的工具，具有很强的潜力。未来的研究应旨在确认SECP的因子结构并评估其重测信度。
