Abstract
Clinical instructors can utilize professional standards to ensure the quality of clinical education. The importance of content validity of the proposed standards and its relevance with reliability, have made it an important step within the standards development. This study aims to design and validate performance standards for clinical instructors at the Technical Institutes of Nursing. The methodological design was utilized; this study was conducted at two sectors: Technical Institutes of Nursing at Port Said and Ismailia City, and practical training settings. Two groups of participants were included in the study: clinical instructors and experts group. The data was collected using two tools: an observational checklist, and an experts’ opinion sheet. Findings of this study revealed that clinical instructors’ performance before dissemination of standards demonstrated low mean percentages; the proposed performance standards had an appropriate level of content validity. The overall value of scale-content validity items /average was equal to 0.988, while the overall value of scale-content validity items/universal agreement was 0.852. There were statistically significant differences between pre and post dissemination of the proposed standards within the total mean percentages in all standards (p<0.001), which points to its applicability. This study concluded that the proposed standards had appropriate level of validity and reliability. This study recommended that apply and communicate the developed standards to clinical instructors in the technical institutes of nursing.
