Abstract

This study aimed to authenticate the validity and reliability of the 40-item Japanese version of the Forensic Psychiatric Nursing Competence (FPNC-J) scale. We used the FPNC-J scale and conducted anonymous online surveys with 213 nurses who worked in the forensic psychiatric wards, assessed the internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and structural and convergent validities. The goodness-of-fit indices showed a poor fit. An exploratory factor analysis identified four factors. Cronbach’s a and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient indicated moderately good reliability. This suggests that the FPNC-J scale is useful for measuring competence in forensic mental health nursing practice.

摘要

本研究旨在验证 40 项日本版法医精神病护理能力 (FPNC-J) 量表的有效性和可靠性。我们使用 FPNC-J 量表，对 213 名在法医精神病房工作的护士进行了匿名在线调查，评估了内部一致性、重测信度以及结构效度和收敛效度。拟合优度指数显示拟合不佳。探索性因素分析确定了四个因素。Cronbach's a 和组内相关系数表明可靠性较好。这表明 FPNC-J 量表对于衡量法医心理健康护理实践的能力很有用。
