A novel measurement instrument for pressure-injury risk assessment competence: Theoretical procedures, simulation, and psychometric quality.

ABSTRACT: This study developed a measuring instrument of pressure-injury risk assessment competence for nursing education adopting theoretical procedures based on competence structuration to support the psychometric quality. The objective of this study is testing the psychometric properties of the instrument using simulation strategy and to determine the instrument's standardisation and normalisation. A methodological study was designed. The instrument was developed by a content-validated theoretical construct administered to 155 undergraduate nursing students from universities in the northeast and south of Brazil using simulation. The instrument was applied over three phases: before the lecture on pressure-injury risk assessment competence, after scenario of simulation experience, and after debrief
