Resumo: Objective: To validate a scale capable of measuring the construct computer skills for Brazilian nurses. Method: Cross-sectional study, carried out with 550 nurses who developed teaching and care activities. The collection took place through a self-administered Likert-type questionnaire containing 78 computer skills, via Google Forms. Exploratory factor analyzes with Varimax rotation were used. Also, the dimensionality and psychometric analysis of the competencies and the internal consistency of the instrument were verified. Results: The Bartlett tests and the KMO confirmed data correspondence to the factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a unidimensional instrument. Four factors were extracted, according to the criteria of the accumulated proportion and the Scree Plot. Four exploratory factor analyzes were applied with Varimax rotation to analyze the factor loadings and commonalities of each item, excluding 12 competencies. The consistency of the instrument was 0.99, verified by Cronbach's alpha. Conclusion: The scale proved to be valid, with 66 competencies, distributed in four factors, being stable and consistent for its applicability. This management tool will enable the assessment of computer skills and consequent planning of educational strategies in the face of identified weaknesses.

Método: Estudio transversal, realizado con 550 enfermeros que desarrollaban actividades docentes y asistenciales. La recolección se realizó a través de un cuestionario tipo Likert autoadministrado que contenía 78 conocimientos informáticos, a través de Google Forms. Se utilizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios con rotación Varimax. Asimismo, se verificó la dimensionalidad y análisis psicométrico de las competencias y la consistencia interna del instrumento. Resultados: Las pruebas de Bartlett y el KMO confirmaron la correspondencia de los datos con el análisis factorial. El análisis factorial exploratorio sugirió un instrumento unidimensional. Se extrajeron cuatro factores, según el criterio de la proporción acumulada y el Scree Plot. Se aplicaron cuatro análisis factoriales exploratorios con rotación Varimax para analizar las cargas factoriales y los puntos en común de cada ítem, excluyendo 12 competencias. La consistencia del instrumento fue de 0,99, verificada por el alfa de Cronbach. Conclusión: La escala demostró ser válida, con 66 competencias, distribuidas en cuatro factores, siendo estable y consistente para su aplicabilidad. Esta herramienta de gestión permitirá la evaluación de las competencias informáticas y la consecuente planificación de estrategias educativas frente a las debilidades identificadas.Objetivo: Validar uma escala capaz de mensurar o construto competências em informática para enfermeiros brasileiros. Método: Estudo de corte transversal, realizado com 550 enfermeiros que desenvolviam atividades docentes e assistenciais. A coleta deu-se por meio de questionário, tipo Likert, autoaplicável, contendo 78 competências em informática, via Google Forms. Análises fatoriais exploratórias com rotação Varimax foram utilizadas. Ainda, verificada a dimensionalidade e a análise psicométrica das competências e a consistência interna do instrumento. Resultados: Os testes Bartlett e o KMO confirmaram correspondência dos dados à análise fatorial. A análise fatorial exploratória sugeriu um instrumento unidimensional. Extraíram-se quatro fatores, segundo os critérios da proporção acumulada e do gráfico Scree Plot. Aplicaram-se quatro análises fatoriais exploratórias com rotação Varimax para analisar as cargas fatoriais e comunalidades de cada item, sendo excluídas 12 competências. A consistência do instrumento foi de 0,99 verificada pelo alfa de Cronbach. Conclusão: A escala se mostrou válida, com 66 competências, distribuídas em quatro fatores, sendo estável e consistente para sua aplicabilidade. Esta ferramenta gerencial possibilitará a avaliação das competências em informática e consequente planejamento de estratégias educativas frente às fragilidades identificadas.Research, Society and Development2022-03-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2699910.33448/rsd-v11i4.26999Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 4; e3411426999Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 4; e3411426999Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 4; e34114269992525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/26999/23642Copyright (c) 2022 Eliana Ofelia Llapa_Rodriguez; Sineide Souza Maia Linhares; Ulisses Vieira Guimarães; Gilvan Gomes da Silva; Anna Beatriz Lopes Tavares; Luis Felipe de Jesus Barreto Araújohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLlapa_Rodriguez, Eliana OfeliaLinhares, Sineide Souza MaiaGuimarães, Ulisses VieiraSilva, Gilvan Gomes daTavares, Anna Beatriz LopesAraújo, Luis Felipe de Jesus Barreto2022-03-27T17:17:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26999Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:44:52.402916Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
