Formatted_NCSBN_ClinicalDecisionMaking_0814An expert nursing panel reviewed the assessment and reduced the number of questions to 28 items. Following the review, a Content Validity Index was carried out and revealed a high level of agreement (CVI = .96). In the next phase, the assessment was sent out to 106 nurses and responses were subjected to a principal component factor analysis. This analysis led to a six-factor model. However, seven questions had very low factor loadings and thus the scale was reduced to 21-items. For the final phase of the study, the reduced scale was administered to an additional set of nurses. As before, a factor analysis was conducted on these responses.

I will talk a little bit about what they do, and what has happened to them during COVID.
