Abstract

Objective To establish a questionnaire to measure competence of head nurses and test its reliability and validity. Methods Based on the third-level items of the competency model built by Tanjie, the primary competency questionnaire was established combining literature review, team discussion and preliminary test. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire was tested in 236 head nurses. Results The questionnaire consisted of 4 dimensions and 33 items, and 4 common factors were extracted by principal components analysis, which contributed to 75.691% of the variance. The Cronbach α was 0.945 for the total questionnaire, and the content validity index was 0.960. Conclusions The questionnaire shows acceptable reliability and validity, and can be applied to the competence investigation of head nurses. Key words: Questionnaires; Nursing, supervisory; Competence; Reliability; Validity
