Psychometric validation study of the three Arabic version of the NLN simulation instruments

“

The adoption of a sound, valid, and reliable instrument to assess one of the most essential and valuable teaching and learning tools, simulation, is clearly regarded as a significant achievement in nursing education. It is vital that an instrument be translated into the learners' native language to assess the instruments’ intended purpose effectively. Moreover, the translation process should not be haphazard. It should have included sophisticated statistical operations and procedures to ensure that an instrument is reliable and valid. Having a valid and trustworthy simulation instrument, not just one, but three distinct yet comparable in many ways can enhance the simulation experience by helping the nursing students determine what learning outcomes should be attained and how. When these three NLN Arabic-version tools are utilized as a guide, the nurse educator may successfully analyze and resolve misunderstandings and unclear concepts throughout the simulation process.
