Implication
Psychometric validation shows strong reliability and validity for an end-of-life care competency scale in nurses, indicating effective educational assessment.
Key Points
The developed end-of-life care scale demonstrates strong validity and reliability based on extensive psychometric evaluations.
A final set of 30 items was derived from an initial 55 during the analysis of data from 409 nurses in long-term care settings.
Factor analyses and item analysis confirmed the scale's effectiveness, with a total explained variance of 70.2%.
High internal consistency (Cronbach's α=.95) and acceptable test-retest reliability were observed, emphasizing its application in educational assessments.
