Purpose: To develop and validate a self-evaluation scale on research utilization competency for clinical nurses.Methods: There were four stages in developing the scale: (a) Extracting important performances related to research utilization based on qualitative and inductive research findings. (b) Making items for the scale based on the important performances related to research utilization. (c) Examining the content validity with a panel of experts and a pilot study. (d) Conducting a survey and performing item analysis, factor analysis for arranging subscales, and testing the reliability and validity of the scale.Results: Self-Evaluation Scale on Research Utilization Competency for Clinical Nurses (SRUC), which had 6 subscales and 35 items with a 5-point Likert scale, were constructed through the four stages. In all, the data of 548 nurses, who worked at hospitals all over Japan, were collected and analyzed. The results supported that the scale has high internal consistency and stability, and construct validity.Conclusion: The SRUC has good reliability and validity, and nurses can use the scale for self-evaluating research utilization competency.
