Implication

Cross-sectional survey evaluates digital technology efficacy in nursing students, suggesting improved curriculum for health technologies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of nursing informatics competency and digital self-efficacy scales.
  • Descriptive cross-sectional survey of 243 undergraduate nursing students
  • Used Canadian Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment Scale and Digital Technology Self-Efficacy scale
  • Assessed internal consistency and construct validity using statistical analyses.
  • C-NICAS showed good internal consistency (α=0.90) and multidimensional factor structure
  • DT-SE also demonstrated sufficient internal consistency (α=0.80) but had a suboptimal model fit for its factor structure.
