Professional Nursing Communication Competence: Theoretical procedures for instrument development and pilot test.

AIMS: To describe the theoretical procedures for the development of the Professional Nursing Communication Competence instrument, determine the content validity and describe the pilot test application. BACKGROUND: Measuring instruments must be developed in accordance with the context and communication process by adopting theoretical procedures based on competence structures to support quality patient-centred care and nursing management. METHODS: A methodological study was employed. The instrument was developed by using content-validated theoretical construct in accordance with 33 communication theories followed by semantic analysis and content validity by experts. The instrument was tested over three phases: before the lecture on professional nursing communication competence, after the simulation scenario experience and after debriefing. RESULTS: The instrument showed an extremely high agreement (CVI = 0.99). Linear regression suggested three domains of the 46-item content-validated instrument comprising knowledge (18 items), skills (12 items) and attitudes (16 items). CONCLUSION: The instrument was found to measure professional communication competence with a high theoretical reliability of the contexts and processes through a simulation strategy. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing educators, managers and staff can adopt the Professional Nursing Communication Competence (IMC-CPE) instrument to improve the effectiveness level of knowledge, skills and attitudes to reduce misunderstanding among team members and health care errors.

Informações epidemiológicas sobre a Covid-19: influência da cibercultura no engajamento popular às medidas de controle / Informaciones epidemiológicas sobre Covid-19: influencia de la cíbercultura en el acatamiento de la población a las medidas de control / Epidemiological information on Covid-19: influence of cyberculture on popular engagement to control measures

OBJETIVO: analisar a comunicação de informações epidemiológicas para a adesão da população às medidas de controle, na perspectiva de Pierre Levy e Littlejohn. DESENVOLVIMENTO: a reflexão contextualiza a influência das informações online, mídias sociais e televisão na construção da cibercultura brasileira. Foi analisada a importância de informações epidemiológicas detalhadas, incluindo deficiências no rastreamento de contatos e na expansão da cobertura dos testes, para o efetivo engajamento comunitário. CONCLUSÃO: a comunicação em massa contribui efetivamente para nova inteligência coletiva em ciberespaços que caracterizam a cibercultura brasileira. Quanto mais transparentes forem as informações oficiais, maior adesão e apoio das populações no controle da pandemia.

OBJETIVO: analizar la comunicación de las informaciones epidemiológicas para el acatamiento de la población a las medidas de control, desde la perspectiva de Pierre Levy y Littlejohn. DESARROLLO: la reflexión contextualiza la influencia que ejercen las informaciones en línea, en los medios sociales, y en la televisión en la construcción de la cíbercultura brasileña. Se analizó la importancia de informaciones epidemiológicas detalladas, incluidas deficiencias en el rastreo de contactos y en la expansión de la cobertura de las pruebas, a fin de lograr un efectivo acatamiento comunitario. CONCLUSIÓN: la comunicación masiva contribuye de manera eficaz a desarrollar una nueva inteligencia colectiva en los ciberespacios que caracterizan a la cibercultura brasileña. Cuanto más transparente sea la información oficial, mayor será el acatamiento y el apoyo de las poblaciones en cuanto al control de la pandemia.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the communication of epidemiological information for the population's adherence to control measures, from the perspective of Pierre Levy and Littlejohn. DEVELOPMENT: Reflection contextualizes the influence of online information, social media, and television in the construction of the Brazilian cyberculture. The importance of detailed epidemiological information was analyzed for effective community engagement, including deficiencies in tracking contacts and expanding test coverage. CONCLUSION: Mass communication contributes effectively to new collective intelligence in cyberspaces that characterize the Brazilian cyberculture. The more transparent the official information, the greater the adherence and support of the populations in controlling the pandemic.
