Development of theoretical framework and digital competence assessment checklist (DCAC) for nursing students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rapid development of digital technology impacts all aspects, including nursing education. Nursing programs are tasked with equipping graduates with both clinical skills and digital competence. However, inconsistencies in the conceptual understanding of digital competence in nursing literature, underscore the need to refine the concept.

Design

This study involved two phases including a modified Delphi approach and psychometric testing. In Phase 1, the panel of experts in nursing was invited to evaluate the theoretical framework, domain, and item of assessment checklist. In Phase 2, the psychometric properties of the assessment checklist were tested using a quantitative survey.

Setting

The study was conducted in Taiwan, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
