Objective: This study aimed to develop a rubric to evaluate nursing competency for early career nurses in the critical care area.
Methods: First, we developed a draft rubric for peer review by instructor nurses and early career nurses based on the “Clinical Ladder for Nurses in Intensive Care”. Next, we discussed the validity of the content of the evaluation perspectives and the expression of the evaluation criteria at an expert meeting. Then, we conducted a trial survey with an early career nurse and an instructor nurse, and finally, we asked the experts to confirm the evaluation perspectives.
Result: As a result of an expert meeting, we developed the rubric with 12 items and three criteria levels by eliminating the evaluation points that did not have content validity. Although we conducted the pilot study with only one pair of an early career nurse and an instructor, it became clear that peer review using the rubric was unlikely to lead to skill development.
Conclusion: Although we confirmed the validity of the rubric consisting of 12 evaluation items, we identified the need to create a tool to link peer review to the discovery of issues.
