Abstract:
Nurses play an important role to apply practice in cultural competence in hospitals. To perform this role nurses need to provide information on the conceptual aspects of cultural competence by using instruments and assessing cultural competence in a clinical setting. Objectives of the study was to develop the cultural competency for clinical pediatric nurse (CCS-CPN) and psychometric evaluate the validity and reliability of CCS-CPN. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to develop an instrument to measure nurse perceptions of cultural competency for clinical pediatric nurse. The data was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify the internal dimensions of the CCS-CPN. Using an EFA, 30-items with a six-factor structure were retained to form the CCS-CPN. The 30-item CCS-CPN yielded an overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficients .85. and for subscales were .81, .73, .81, .75, .78 and .87, respectively. The 30-item CCS-CPN version of Indonesia consists of six factor
s: culture awareness of pediatric nurses (5 items), culture knowledge of pediatric nurses (6 items), culture skill of pediatric nurses (5 items), culture encounter of pediatric nurses (4 items), and culture sensitivity of pediatric nurses (7 items) were acceptable and significant. Unfortunately, factor 4 obtained an item that does not represent the dimensions of the culture encounter of pediatric nurses. Therefore, further research is needed by using different method of Delphi method.
