Purpose: To psychometrically test the Perceived Perioperative Competence
Scale-Revised (PPCS-R) in the Swedish context.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Methods: The 40-item PPCS-R was translated into Swedish using a
forward-translation approach. A census of 2,902 registered nurse
anesthetists (RNAs) and operating room (OR) nurses was drawn from
a database of a national association in Sweden.
Finding: The response rate was 39% (n 5 1,033; 528 RNAs and 505 OR
nurses). Cronbach alpha for each factor was 0.78 to 0.89 among OR
nurses and 0.79 to 0.88 among RNAs. Confirmatory factor analysis
showed good model fit in the six-factor ...

Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit in the six-factor model. Conclusions: Psychometric testing of the Swedish translation of the PPCS-R suggests a good construct validity, and the construct and its six factors are conceptually relevant among the Swedish OR nurses and RNAs.
