ABSTRACT:

Aim

To develop and psychometrically test a comprehensive Cancer Nurse Self-Assessment Tool (CaN-SAT).

Phase 2: Through a modified Delphi, cancer nursing experts rated the importance of each element of practice and assessed the relevance and clarity of each item. Content Validation Indexes (CVI) were calculated, and a CVI of ≥ 0.78 was required for items to be included.

This study was reported using the Guideli
