“…Previous studies have shown that education in TCCN theory improves awareness and understanding of TCCN theory (Nakano et al, 2019(Nakano et al, , 2021. It cannot be denied that the experience of being educated in TCCN theory may affect the results of the survey.…”

“…In addition, his team has developed the Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing Instrument-Revised (TCCNI-R) for use in both the Japanese and English languages. Nakano et al (2019Nakano et al ( , 2021 used the Japanese version of TCCNI-R to investigate the educational effects of TCCN theory on nursing administrators and found that teaching TCCN theory improved nursing administrators' understanding and perception of TCCN theory. Also, Yokotani et al (2021) evaluated the Japanese version of the TCCNI-R by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis by employing SEM to test for construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha confirmed its reliability.…”

Background: The middle range theory Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN) guides nursing practices. The TCCN Instrument (TCCNI) measures perception dimension of the theory and has been revised and translated into the Japanese language (TCCNI-R). Testing the translated version of the TCCNI-R to English language with the inclusion of a practice dimension is warranted.Purpose: This study aims to determine the psychometric properties of the TCCNI-Revised English version with Practice dimension (TCCNI-RePract).Methods: A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted with data from 202 valid questionnaire copies from professional nurses in selected hospitals and nurse educators in universities. Results: The suitability for factor analysis was determined using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index (0.93), Bartlett's sphericity test of 3256.93, p<0.001, the anti-image correlations ranged between 0.87 and 0.96, and an average value of communalities of 0.66. In the four rotations conducted with the maximum likelihood method with a Harris-Kaiser Orthoblique rotation, four items were excluded with factor loadings less than 0.40. These results determined the final scale with 21 items and four subscales, namely: (1) Knowing the person (8 items); (2) Technological competency as Caring (6 items); (3) Technology and caring (4 items); and (4) Expression of nursing as Caring (3 items). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.94. With two dimensions of the TCCNI-RePract, the perception dimension had significantly higher scores than the practice dimension. When comparing mean factor point among the dimensions, the perception scores were significantly higher for Factor 1 and Factor 3.Conclusion:The TCCNI-RePract is an acceptable tool that can reliably measure nurses’ perception and practice of TCCN. It is affirmed that with this tool, measuring perception and practice status of TCCN theory is possible. It is considered that the evaluation results can be used to plan in-hospital education.
