Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Objectives: to validate, for the Portuguese population, the Clinical Decision-Making Nursing Scale© (CDMNS©). Methods: this methodological study involved 496 nursing students who filled in a questionnaire created using sociodemographic and academic data, and the scale to evaluate the making of decisions in nursing. Results: the confirmatory factorial analysis showed that the adjustment of the factorial structure has good quality, being made up by three factors (X2/gl = 2.056; GFI = 0.927; CFI = 0.917; RMSEA = 0.046; RMR = 0.039; SRMR = 0.050). For the scale to be reliable, it had to include only the reliability of the scale required it to be constituted by 23 items, with correlation values that varied from 0.184 and 0.610, and a global Cronbach's Alpha of 0.851, which showed its good reliability. Conclusions: the CDMNS-PT© is valid and reliable, showing a high potential to be used in clinical practice and investigation. RESUMEN Objetivo: validar para la población portuguesa la Clinical Decision-Making Nursing Scale© (CDMNS©). Métodos: este estudio metodológico envolvió 496 estudiantes de Enfermería que rellenaron una encuesta constituida por datos sociodemográficos y académicos y la escala de evaluación de la toma de decisión en Enfermería. Resultados: el análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenció una buena calidad de ajustamiento de la estructura factorial, compuesta por tres factores (X2/gl = 2,056; GFI = 0,927; CFI = 0,917; RMSEA = 0,046; RMR = 0,039; SRMR = 0,050). La determinación de la fidelidad de la escala exigió que se quedara constituida por 23 ítems, con valores de correlación a variar entre 0,184 y 0,610 y un valor global de alfa de Cronbach de 0,851, demostrando una buena fiabilidad. Conclusiones: la CDMNS-PT© es válida y fiable, demostrando un elevado potencial para su utilización en la práctica clínica y en la investigación.
