Statements
This study was conducted to develop a cultural competence scale for nurses regarding the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and to test its validity and reliability. (English)
The study adhered to the 8-step process outlined by DeVellis, with an initial set of 25 items derived through a literature review and individual interviews. (English)
Following an expert validity assessment, 24 items were validated. (English)
Subsequently, a preliminary survey was conducted among 23 nurses with experience caring for LGBT patients. (English)
Data were then collected from a final sample of 322 nurses using the 24 items. (English)
Item analysis, item-total score correlation, examination of construct and convergent validity, and reliability testing were performed. (English)
The item-level content validity index exceeded .80, and the explanatory power of the construct validity was 63.63%. (English)
The factor loadings varied between 0.57 and 0.80. (English)
The scale comprised five factors: cultural skills, with seven items; cultural awareness, with five items; cultural encounters, with three items; cultural pursuit, with three items; and cultural knowledge, with three items; totaling 21 items. (English)
Convergent validity demonstrated a high correlation, affirming the scale's validity. (English)
Internal consistency analysis yielded an overall reliability coefficient of 0.97, signifying very high reliability. (English)
Each item is scored from 1 to 6 (total score range, 21-126), with higher scores reflecting greater cultural competence in LGBT care. (English)
This scale facilitates the measurement of LGBT cultural competence among nurses. (English)
Therefore, its use should provide foundational data to support LGBT-focused nursing education programs. (English)
