Abstract
Background and Purpose:Competent nurse managers (NM) are essential to create safe and healthy work environments and support frontline nurses. Measuring NM competence with a valid and reliable instrument is critical in research. We assessed the psychometric properties of the Nurse Manager Competency Instrument for Research (NMCIR).Methods:Item analysis, internal consistency analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed with a sample of 594 NMs.Results:The NMCIR showed high internal consistency. The 26 items were loaded on ten factors with a good overall fit, supporting the hypothesized factor structure. However, the findings showed poor discriminant validity.Conclusion:The NMCIR demonstrates sound psychometric properties for use in studies of NM competence. Further evaluation of the NMCIR is recommended to improve discriminant validity.
