“…in the clinical validity evaluation of this study scored 3.37 which was a relatively high score. Korean Triage and Acuity Scale previously used in Korea had a different classi cation according to working experience of ER nurses due to an ambiguous standard setting [26]. In particular, the training for nurses in the emergency room is mainly about physical symptoms [9], making it di cult to determine the severity of psychiatric symptoms by the ambiguous standard of Korean Triage and Acuity Scale.…”

Background Psychiatric triage algorithm can improve the quality of care by providing a systematic method for classifying the severity of patients experiencing psychiatric crisis in the emergency room and by determining the optimal time frame for intervention. The aim of the present study was to test the professional validity and clinical validity of a psychiatric triage algorithm developed for use in South Korea.Methods The initial algorithm was developed through systematic literature review. Its validity was then verified by 10 experts. Based on results of expert validity, the algorithm was modified and the final algorithm was developed.Results Its clinical validity was then verified by 30 emergency room nurses who had used triage. Four questions of expert validity results with a CVI of 0.8 or less were revised to reflect expert opinion. The clinical validity of the final modified algorithm was 2.9 ~ 3.47.Conclusion The use of highly validity psychiatric triage algorithm by ER (Emergency Room) nurses not only can improve the quality of care, but also can improve patient outcomes and experience.

“…In the preparation phase of the content analysis, I reviewed the dictionary meaning for each competency listed in the NCCCF (ICN, 2008) and conducted a review of conceptual analysis studies (Abdolrahimi, Ghiyasvandian, Zakerimoghadam, & Ebadi, 2017;Chivima, 2014;Yun & Lee, 2014) and previous studies (Connecticut State Department of Education, 2014;Dunn et al, 2000;Moon & Park, 2018;Park & Bea, 2012;Wihlborg, Edgren, Johansson, & Sivberg, 2014;Yoon & Lee, 2017) related to school nurse competencies or emergency nursing care competencies. The review results were added to the competency and behavioral indicators in the NCCCF (ICN, 2008).…”

“…The pilot test was conducted through an online survey of 15 school nurses who had been selected based of their school nursing experience. The survey consisted of 92 items of emergency nursing care competency adjusted through the expert panel review, 30 items from the TCS (Moon, & Park, 2018) modi ed for the school context to assess criteria validity, 10 related to sociodemographic characteristics, and 2 items concerning the evaluation of the scale (time required and correction).…”

Background The school nurse is a vital component of the school emergency services. Assessing School nurses’ emergency nursing care competency is essential to be sure safety and quality of care. The purpose of the study was to develop a scale for measuring school nurses’ competency.Methods This was an instrument development and validation study. The study was conducted according to the revised DeVellis scale development process coupled with the application of the International Council of Nurses’ Nursing Care Continuum Competencies Framework. Eight experts who specialize in school health and emergency care evaluated the validity of the content, while 386 school nurses evaluated the scale. The validity evaluation comprised factor analysis, analysis of control group validity according to school nurse experience differences, and analysis of criterion validity. Scale reliability was analyzed using Cronbach’s α value.Results The final scale comprises a self-reported 5-point Likert scale with 30 items, based on three factors and three sub-factors. The convergent validity of the items by factor and control group validity were both confirmed. The criterion validity was also found to be positively correlated with the Triage Competency Scale.Conclusion The scale may be used to identify factors influencing school nurses’ competency in emergency nursing care and contribute to research in competency-based education programs.
