Description
Summary:The Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing Instrument-Revised (TCCNI-R) was developed from the Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing theory. To assess the psychometric properties, a four-factor questionnaire comprised the TCCNI-R. Only 590 of 1,322 online questionnaire responses by nurses in 11 general hospitals in Chugoku-Shikoku, Japan, were analyzed and interpreted. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis via SEM justified construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient established reliability. Goodness of fit was rejected; however fit index value was accepted. Root mean square of error approximation showed reasonable approximation error. The TCCNI-R showed content validity and reliability in measuring technological competency as expression of caring in nursing.
