| Sumario: | Introduction: One of the most important factors that can enhance the efficiency and success of hospitals for achieving the objectives is the communication competency of nursing managers. Due to the lack of a local questionnaire to measure the communication competency of nursing managers, the present study has been conducted aimed to design and validate the Nursing Manager Communication Competency Questionnaire (NMCCQ). Method: First, after designing the questionnaire (production of primary items), based on the definition of the results of the study, the analysis of Schwartz, Barcott, and Kim’s hybrid concept was performed and then it was evaluated. According to the definitions of the results of Schwartz, Barcott, and Kim’s Hybrid concept analysis study, the questionnaire was designed and then it has been assessed psychometrically. Face validity with the opinion of 15 participants and content validity have been assessed using the opinion of 15 experts. Construct validity has been assessed by 300 nurses via completing the questionnaire using factor analysis. Results: First, a questionnaire with 83 items of qualitative data was made. After confirming content validity, the number of items reduced to 62 items. Exploratory factor analysis included five constructs of non-verbal communication skill, negotiation, reporting, communication ethics, and the application of communication knowledge, which consisted of 56 items that together accounted for 61.410% of the observed variance. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for constructs ranged from 0.862 to 0.987 and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) ranged from 0.969 to 0.994. Conclusion: The results showed that nursing managers’ communication competency questionnaire is a valid and reliable scale that can help managers select, assess, and appoint nursing managers. As a result, this tool can be used in future studies. |
