Over the past 20 years self-report measures of healthcare students’ information and communication
technology skills have been developed with limited validation. Furthermore, measures of student experience
of e-learning emerged but were not repeatedly used with diverse populations. A psychometric
approach with five phases was used to develop and test a new self-report measure of skills and experience
with information and communication technology and attitudes to computers in education. Phase 1:
Literature review and identification of key items. Phase 2: Development and refinement of items with
expert panel (n = 16) and students (n = 3) to establish face and content validity. Phase 3: Pilot testing
of draft instrument with graduate pre-registration nursing students (n = 60) to assess administration procedures
and acceptability of the instrument. Phase 4: Test–retest with further sample of graduate preregistration
nursing students (n = 70) tested stability and internal consistency. Phase 5: Main study with
pre-registration nursing students (n = 458), further testing of internal consistency. The instrument proved
to have moderate test–retest stability and the sub-scales had acceptable internal consistency. When used
with a larger, more diverse population the psychometric properties were more variable. Further work is
needed to refine the instrument with specific reference to possible cultural and linguistic response patterns
and technological advances.
