Introduction: The intangible nature of soft skills makes it difficult for nursing academics to evaluate nursing students' attainment of these skills. Most of the time, academics focus more on assessing nursing students' knowledge and performance (hard skills) in clinical skill assessments. In focusing primarily on assessing nursing students' hard skill competencies, the nursing profession has given inadequate attention to developing their soft skill competencies. Thus, this study aimed to explore the nursing academic's view on soft skills elements in structured clinical skill assessment for the undergraduate nursing program. Method: This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. A total of 10 nursing academics were involved, and they were recruited through a purposive sampling method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews using open-ended questions to gain insight into nursing academics' perception of soft skills elements in structured clinical skill assessment for the undergraduate nursing program. Data analysis was conducted by using an inductive content analysis method. Results: Four themes emerge from this study. These are 1) awareness and involvement, 2) Factors influencing on implementation of soft skills in the structured clinical skills assessment, 3) academic responsibility, and 4) suggestions to overcome barriers. Conclusion: Findings from this study provide new insights into the nursing academic perception of soft skills elements in structured clinical skill assessments of undergraduate nursing program needs improvement and proper structure on how/what are the soft skills elements that want to measure for nursing students. These findings would assist in developing a more strategic framework for soft skills elements in structured clinical skill assessments to produce quality nursing graduates.

Background Prior studies in Ethiopia have not validated the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) for assessing the nutritional status of adult cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the content and linguistic validity of both the full-length and short-form versions of the PG-SGA in Ethiopia. Methods A panel of nine experts assessed the difficulty, clarity, and relevance of each item. The experts evaluated the content validity of the full PG-SGA. The linguistic validity of the translated patient component (PG-SGA Short Form) was evaluated using a purposively selected sample of 20 patients. Item and scale content validity indices (I-CVI and S-CVI) were calculated to determine the content validity of the tool. Cohen's kappa and Fleiss' kappa statistics were used to assess inter-rater reliability. Results This study evaluated four domains and 67 items for content validation. The item content validity index for the full PG-SGA ranged from 0.78 to 1. The scale content validity index for the patient and professional components based on average was 0.98 and 0.96, respectively. The scale content validity index of the full-form PG-SGA was 0.97. The modified kappa values for all items ranged from 0.87 to 1. Unfamiliarity and illiteracy among some participants were identified as challenges during the linguistic validation. Conclusion The contextualized version of the PG-SGA is valid for assessing malnutrition in Ethiopian adults with cancer. The Amharic-translated short form, along with the adapted English version of the Physical Examination section, can be used to assess malnutrition in the oncological and research contexts in Ethiopia.
