Abstract (English): Introduction: The systematic evaluation of clinical competencies of nursing professionals has been a subject of interest among educators, professionals, and other experts in this field, which enables the tracking of the graduation profile, career trajectory, and achievement of goals throughout the professional career. Faculty must prioritize efficiency in the performance of future nursing professionals by using instruments such as clinical simulation for practice development. Objective: To determine the construct validity of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for assessing competence in pediatric medication administration. Materials and Methods: An observational, psychometric, and prospective study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument "Objective Structured Clinical Examination for pediatric medication administration." Results: The final instrument consisted of 15 items. Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (χ² =145.887, p < 0.001), and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was acceptable (0.703). Cronbach's alpha for the total instrument was 0.798. Discussion: Developing psychometric tests for an OSCE in medication administration provides an empirical indicator that can be used accurately in nursing professionals' work. Conclusions: The validity of the OSCE for assessing competence in pediatric medication administration was established, and the instrument was deemed moderately acceptable for application in this area of knowledge. Its use favors both learning and evaluative processes of clinical practice for health sciences students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: La evaluación sistemática de las competencias clínicas del profesional de enfermería ha sido objeto de interés entre educadores, profesionales y otros expertos de esta área, lo cual posibilita rastrear el perfil de egreso, trayectoria y el alcance de las metas durante la carrera profesional. Los profesores deben priorizar la eficiencia en el desempeño de los futuros profesionales de enfermería mediante instrumentos como la simulación clínica para el desarrollo de la praxis. Objetivo: Determinar la validez de constructo del examen clínico objetivo estructurado para valorar la competencia de administración de medicamentos en pediatría. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional, psicométrico y prospectivo, en el que se adelantaron pruebas para determinar la validez y confiabilidad del instrumento: "Examen Clínico Objetivo Estructurado para la administración de medicamentos en pediatría". Resultados: El instrumento final quedó conformado por 15 reactivos. La prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett´s fue significativa χ2=145,887 p <0,001 y el indicador de adecuación del tamaño de muestra Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin fue adecuado (0,703). El alfa del instrumento total fue de 0,798. Discusión: Desarrollar pruebas psicométricas al examen clínico estructurado para la administración de medicamentos, permite obtener un indicador empírico que puede ser utilizado de manera precisa en la labor del profesional de enfermería. Conclusiones: Se determinó la validez del examen clínico objetivo estructurado para valorar la competencia administración de medicamentos en pediatría, es un instrumento moderadamente aceptable para aplicar en esta área de conocimiento, favoreciendo el aprendizaje y los procesos evaluativos de la práctica clínica de los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud.

Abstract (Portuguese): Introdução: A avaliação sistemática das competências clínicas de profissionais de enfermagem tem sido fonte de interesse entre educadores, profissionais e outros especialistas da área. Isso permite o acompanhamento do perfil de graduação, da trajetória e do alcance de metas ao longo da carreira profissional. Os educadores devem priorizar a eficiência do desempenho dos futuros profissionais de enfermagem por meio de ferramentas como a simulação clínica para o desenvolvimento da prática. Objetivo: Determinar a validade de construto do exame clínico objetivo estruturado para avaliar a competência em administração de medicamentos em pediatria. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, psicométrico e prospectivo para determinar a validade e a confiabilidade do instrumento "Exame Clínico Objetivo Estruturado para Administração de Medicamentos em Pediatria". Resultados: O instrumento final foi composto por 15 itens. O teste de esfericidade de Bartlett foi significativo (α2 = 145,887 p < 0,001) e o indicador de adequação do tamanho amostral de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin foi adequado (0,703). O alfa do instrumento total foi de 0,798. Discussão: O desenvolvimento de testes psicométricos para o exame clínico estruturado para administração de medicamentos permite a obtenção de um indicador empírico que pode ser utilizado com precisão na atuação de profissionais de enfermagem. Conclusões: Foi determinada a validade do exame clínico objetivo estruturado para avaliar a competência em administração de medicamentos em pediatria. Este instrumento apresenta aceitação moderada para aplicação nesta área do conhecimento, favorecendo a aprendizagem e os processos avaliativos da prática clínica de estudantes de ciências da saúde.
