Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to psychometrically analyze the Caffrey Cultural Competence in Healthcare Scale (CCCHS), a scale that measures self-assessed cultural competency of nursing students participating in international immersion experiences during their nursing curriculum.
Methods: A sample of 105 health professions students completed the CCCHS. Inter-item correlations, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and Cronbach's α were used to examine validity and reliability.
Results: Results indicated that items were positively related. A 1-factor model of the CCCHS was found in which all items loaded onto a single factor at > .30, except two items dealing with national policy, which may not be a component of cultural competence.
Conclusion: The CCCHS was internally consistent (α = .93) and is a valid and reliable scale consisting of a unidimensional factor.
