Integrasi Teknologi Informasi (TI) di bidang kesehatan terbukti meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan dengan meningkatkan patient safety serta mempercepat waktu layanan. Salah satu inovasi TI di bidang kesehatan yaitu rekam medik elektronik (electronic health record). Rekam medik jenis ini sudah umum digunakan di negara maju namun masih jarang digunakan di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Sebelum pengimplementasian suatu sistem informasi baru di pelayanan kesehatan, perlu dipastikan bahwa user dapat mengoperasikannya dengan baik sehingga hasil dari sistem tersebut optimal. Perawat sebagai tenaga kesehatan dengan jumlah paling banyak di suatu pelayanan kesehatan seperti Rumah Sakit merupakan user terbesar bila rekam medik elektronik ini diterapkan.  Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu alat untuk mengukur kemampuan atau literasi sistem informasi keperawatan (SIK). Salah satu alat ukur kompetensi SIK yaitu NICAT (Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment Tool) yang memiliki 3 bagian serta 30 item pertanyaan. Penulis melakukan alih bahasa pada kuesioner ini, kemudian melakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini yaitu 233 perawat di salah satu Rumah Sakit Pemerintah di Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Hasil uji validitas pada 30 item dengan r tabel 0.128 menunjukkan r hitung diatas nilai tersebut dengan Cronbach’s Alpha 0,975. Dapat disimpulkan kuesioner pengukuran kemampuan SIK (NICAT versi Bahasa Indonesia) telah valid dan reliabel sehingga dapat digunakan mengukur kemampuan SIK perawat Indonesia.

AbstractObjectiveTo establish basic data for identifying the level of mental health care competency of general nurses through verification of the reliability and validity of Competency Assessment Tool-Mental Health in the development of a measurement tool for mental health care competency in Korea.MethodsThis study was conducted on nurses working at general wards, excluding those working at the Department of Psychiatry, in five hospitals with 200 beds or more located in Korea. Content, construct, concurrent validity, and internal consistency of the measurement were confirmed.ResultsAs a result of the construct validity, the section on importance of skills and knowledge for mental health care had 21 items, whereas the section on benefits of additional education had 22 items. The internal consistency of measurement was confirmed as follows: Cronbach's α = 0.96 for the section on importance and 0.96 for the section on benefits section.ConclusionsThis study verified the high validity and reliability of the tool in assessing the mental health care competency of nurses, and it is believed to be significant as basic data for enhancing such competency.

Background/aimsTo develop, test and determine whether a surgical-competency assessment tool for simulated glaucoma surgery is valid.MethodsThe trabeculectomy ophthalmic simulated surgical competency assessment rubric (Sim-OSSCAR) was assessed for face and content validity with a large international group of expert eye surgeons. Cohorts of novice and competent surgeons were invited to perform anonymised simulation trabeculectomy surgery, which was marked using the Sim-OSSCAR in a masked fashion by a panel of four expert surgeons. Construct validity was assessed using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Krippendorff’s alpha was calculated for interobserver reliability.ResultsFor the Sim-OSSCAR for trabeculectomy, 58 of 67 surgeons (86.6%) either agreed or strongly agreed that the Sim-OSSCAR is an appropriate way to assess trainees’ surgical skill. Face validity was rated as 4.04 (out of 5.00). Fifty-seven of 71 surgeons (80.3%) either agreed or strongly agreed that the Sim-OSSCAR contents represented the surgical technique of surgical trabeculectomy. Content validity was rated as 4.00. Wilcoxon rank-sum test showed that competent surgeons perform better than novices (p=0.02). Interobserver reliability was rated >0.60 (Krippendorff’s alpha) in 19 of 20 steps of the Sim-OSSCAR.ConclusionThe Sim-OSSCAR for trabeculectomy, a newly developed and validated assessment tool for simulation glaucoma surgery, has validity and reliability. It has the potential to play a useful role in ophthalmic surgical education.

Background: A competent medical leadership and management workforce is key to the effectiveness and efficiency of health service provision and to leading and managing the health system reform agenda in China. However, the traditional recruitment and promotion approach of relying on clinical performance and seniority provides limited incentive for competency development and improvement. Methods: A three-component survey including the use of a validated management competency assessment tool was conducted with Directors of Medical Services (n = 143) and Deputy Directors of Medical Services (n = 152) from three categories of hospital in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. Results: The survey identified the inadequacy of formal and informal management training received by hospital medical leaders before commencing their management positions and confirms that the low self-perceived competency level across two medical management level and three hospitals was beyond acceptable. The study also indicates that the informal and formal education provided to Chinese medical leaders have not been effective in developing the required management competencies. Conclusions: The study suggests two system level approaches (health and higher education systems) and one organization level approach to formulate overall medical leadership and management workforce development strategies to encourages continuous management competency development and self-improvement among clinical leaders in China.
