Design and Psychometric Evaluation of the 'Clinical Communication Self-Efficacy Toolkit'.

ABSTRACT: Nursing students experience difficulties when communicating in clinical practice. Their self-efficacy in clinical communication should be explored as part of their competence assessment before they are exposed to real human interactions in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to design and psychometrically evaluate a toolkit to comprehensively assess nursing students' self-efficacy in clinical communication. The study followed an observational cross-sectional design. A sample of 365 nursing students participated in the study. The 'Clinical Communication Self-Efficacy Toolkit' (CC-SET) was comprised of three tools: the 'Patient-Centered Communication Self-efficacy Scale' (PCC-SES), the 'Patient clinical Information Exchange and interprofessional communication Self-Efficacy Scale'
