Purpose: The study was conducted to develop the Nursing Practice Capacity scale for evaluating achievement of education objectives among students in nursing school.
Methods: This was a methodological study. The scale development process included generation of initial items, verification of content validity, selections of secondary items, preliminary study, and extraction of final items. The participants were five graduates 1 to 4 years after graduation (for the preliminary study) and 125 graduates 1 to 4 years after graduation from the nursing school at A University, South Korea. Item analysis, criterion validity, and internal consistency were used to analyze the data.
Results: Twenty-six items were selected for the final scale. The scores on the scale were significantly correlated with the Nursing Competency Scale(r=.62, p<.001) and Nursing Performance Scale(r=.63, p<.001). Chronbach’s alpha coefficient for the 26 items was .87.
Conclusion: The Nursing Practice Capacity scale for evaluating achievement of nursing education objectives has good validity and reliability. The measurement scale can be useful for evaluating the nursing practice capacity of nurses as well as measuring the extent to which graduates have achieved the established education objectives in the education fields.
