Aim:The aim of the study was to determine the psychometric properties, construct validity and internal consistency of the Chinese language version of the Nurse Professional Competence scale short form.Design: A methodological design was used.Methods: Questionnaire data from 260 nursing students nearing graduation from 2 universities in China were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis, known-group validity and internal consistency. Results:The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the model was acceptable, and the analyses for known-group validity revealed statistically significant differences in all factors and the total scale of the Nurse Professional Competence scale short form. Internal consistency revealed that Cronbach's alpha values exceeded 0.70 for all factors and the total scale. The Chinese language version of the Nurse Professional Competence scale short form has acceptable construct validity and good internal consistency.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Nurse Professional Competence Scale in Croatia, in order to implement it as a valid and reliable tool for the evaluation of nurses’ competence.Design: Psychometric instrument validation study.Methods: The validity of the contents and construction, as well as internal consistency, and affirmative factor analysis were measured. Nurse Professional Competence Scale has been distributed to 311 nurses who completed undergraduate or graduate nursing studies. All participants completed an online survey. The data was collected between April and July 2020.Results: The six-factor structure (Nursing care, Value-Based Nursing, Medical and Technical Care, Care Pedagogics, Documentation and Administration of Nursing Care, and Development, Leadership and Organization of Nursing Care) of the Nurse Professional Competence Scale has been confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha equals to 0.92.Conclusions: Psychometric properties of the Nurse Professional Competence Scale in the Republic of Croatia show that the scale is reliable and valid as a measurement instrument, and can be used as such in research to assess the quality of professional competencies of nurses.

“…We performed evidence synthesis when a measurement attribute of individual instrument has more than one psychometric evaluation. 15 Based on the quality ratings of single results, one decided whether or not all results on one measurement property of individual instrument are consistent. If the results per study were all sufficient (insufficient or indeterminate), the overall rating would also be sufficient (insufficient or indeterminate).…”

Objective To systematically review the measurement properties of performance-based measures to assess physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. Data sources PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched in May 2022. Methods This study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Clinical trials on the psychometric properties of performance-based tools for measuring physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis were included. Two reviewers independently rated measurement properties using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN). “Best evidence synthesis” was made using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments outcomes and the quality of findings. Results Thirty-six out of 3425 publications were eligible for inclusion. Thirty-two performance-based measures were evaluated including 26 single-activity measures and 6 multi-activity measures. Measurement properties evaluated included internal consistency (2 measures), reliability (23 measures), measurement error (20 measures), hypotheses testing for construct validity (22 measures), and responsiveness (23 measures). On balance of the limited evidence, the walk 40 m fast-paced test and 6-minute walking test were the best rated walking tests. The 30-second chair stand test and timed up and go test were the best rated sit-to-stand tests. The Performance Tests Measures and Physical Activity Restrictions may be the suitable multi-activity measures for knee osteoarthritis. Conclusions Further good quality research investigating the measurement properties, and in particular, the measurement error of performance-based measures in patients with knee osteoarthritis is needed.
