PURPOSE
The purpose of this methodological study was to develop a teaching efficacy scale for clinical nursing instructors and to establish its validity and reliability. METHODS Based on the literature review and focus group interviews, the attributes of the roles and capabilities of clinical nursing instructors were identified and a scale was developed. The content validity test and preparatory investigation were conducted to produce a total of 54 questions of the study. RESULTS Factor analysis indicated six factors whose eigenvalue was 1 or greater. Cumulative dispersion explained by the factors was the combined 67.3%. In the final analysis, forty-two questions were selected. The “Student instruction†factor showed high loadings with 12 questions and explained 17.4% of total variance. The “Teaching improvement†factor was loaded with 9 questions; “Application of Teaching and Learning†7 questions; “Interpersonal relationship and communication,†7 questions; “Clinical judgement†4 questions; “Clinical skill instruction†3 questions. The overall reliability of the tools measured with Cronbach's was .97. CONCLUSION All these findings confirmed that the teaching efficacy scale for clinical nursing instructors have content validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity, and all questions are internally consistent and reliable.
