Adaptation and validation of the Clinical Nursing Expertise Survey to the portuguese nursing population

Objective:

To validate a reliable and valid measure to evaluate nursing clinical expertise, which could be used to research the contribution of nursing knowledge to the quality of care.

Methods:

After permission to translate and use of the Clinical Nursing Expertise Survey, we applied the instrument resulting from the conceptual validation process and the translation/retroversion process.

Results:

Response rate ranged between 98.4% and 100% per item. The construct validation process with the factor analysis extracted two factors which explain 74.19% of the variance. The reliability measured by Cronbach's alpha has a value of α = 0.987, on the criteria validation we obtained a significant relationship between CNES and nurse education.

Conclusion:

We thus obtained a valid and reliable Portuguese version of CNES which can be used in clinical settings in Portugal.
