| Popis: | AIM This study's purpose is to psychometrically evaluate the Mock Code Self-Efficacy Scale. This tool was developed to measure senior baccalaureate nursing students' level of self-efficacy as it pertains to mock codes. BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an essential component of nursing education. METHOD The Mock Code Self-Efficacy Scale was analyzed for item characteristics, face validity, content validity, reliability, and dimensionality in a sample of senior-level nursing students (n = 153) enrolled in a critical care nursing course. RESULTS The scale was found to be multidimensional with reliabilities ranging from .75 to .87. Items evidenced a ceiling effect, perhaps due to the instruction given prior to completing the instrument. The instrument evidenced both content and face validity. CONCLUSION The instrument now can be used to assess if increased self-efficacy is a mediating variable for students to correctly transfer skills learned in a mock code to the clinical setting. |
