Abstract: Objective: To develop Nursing Informatics Competency Scale with good reliability and validity which not only reflects the characteristics of nursing discipline but also can be used under Chinese cultural context. Methods: The mixed method was used to construct the evaluation index system of nursing informatics competency, subsequently the prototype of Nursing Informatics Competency Scale was formed. Different statistical methods were used to test the reliability and validity of the scale. Results: The Nursing Informatics Competency Scale consisted of 5 dimensions and 32 items. The Cronbach's?α of the scale was 0.947; the exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale had good construct validity. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was 0.957; the confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate model fit (χ2/df=0.293, AGFI=0.82, RMSEA=0.06, RMR=0.04, CFI=0.91). Conclusion: The Nursing Informatics Competency Scale had good reliability and validity which could provide an objective, scientific and reliable evaluation tool for assessing the competency of nursing informatics for nurses in hospitals.
