Abstract

Background: This study evaluated the Gerontologi-cal Nursing Competence Questionnaire-Farsi version (GNCQ-F) in Iranian hospitals. Method: This exploratory sequential study used a mixed-methods design. The questionnaire items were developed based on a qualitative descriptive exploratory study and a review of the literature. The psychometric properties of the ini-tial questionnaire including face validity, content valid-ity, construct validity, internal consistency, and stability were evaluated. Results: Exploratory factor analysis resulted in the extraction of 42 items in five factors including care competence and patient/older adult and family empowerment, ethical and compassionate care competence, patient safety competence, continuous professional development and self-care competence, and collaborative and team care competence. Cron-bach’s alpha coefficient confirmed the internal consistency of each subscale and the entire tool (0.942). The stability reliability was 0.973 and was determined by calculating the intra-cluster correlation coefficient. Conclusion: Nurses can use this self-evaluation instrument to assess their gerontological nursing compe-tence. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(7):335-343.]. © SLACK Incorporated.
