Development and psychometric testing of the preceptors’ orientation competence instrument (POCI)

Registered nurses' cultural orientation competence for culturally and linguistically diverse nurses in the hospital setting: A cross‐sectional study

“…The presented research was conducted as a descriptive, explorative cross‐sectional study based on an online survey. This study reports part of the data from a larger dataset, including instrument development and registered nurses' orientation competence levels in general (Pohjamies, Haapa, et al, 2022; Pohjamies, Mikkonen, et al, 2022). The STROBE criteria were used to critically report the results of the observations (Von Elm et al, 2007).…”

“…The second instrument was the Preceptors' Orientation Competence Instrument (POCI), which includes 53 items categorized across seven sum variables: (1) preceptor's characteristics; (2) goal‐oriented orientation; (3) guidance of reflective discussion; (4) knowledge of work unit orientation practices; (5) creation of a supportive learning atmosphere; (6) preceptors' motivation and (7) providing developmental feedback (Pohjamies, Mikkonen, et al, 2022). The validation process for POCI has been reported in (Pohjamies, Mikkonen, et al, 2022). The total content validity ratio of POCI was 0.90 for relevance and 0.87 for clarity (Pohjamies, Mikkonen, et al, 2022).…”

Nurse preceptors' orientation competence and associated factors—A cross‐sectional study

“…This study employed a self‐administered, electronic Finnish version of the Preceptors' Orientation Competence Instrument (POCI) (Pohjamies et al, 2022). The POCI was designed to enable nursing professionals to self‐evaluate their competence in orienting new employees.…”

“…Each respondent scores the items on a 4‐point Likert scale (1 = completely disagree, 2 = partially disagree, 3 = partially agree, 4 = completely agree). The construct validity of POCI was previously tested and reported by (Pohjamies et al, 2022). The Cronbach's alpha values calculated for the instrument varied between 0.79 and 0.93, which demonstrates good internal consistency (DeVon et al, 2007).…”
