Description
Yan Jiang and colleagues build in 2026 a scale for judging nurse skill inside oral health team care. Nurses coordinate across dental specialties in such teams, yet no fit-for-purpose rating tool existed. Sixteen experts refined a draft item pool through two Delphi rounds, a structured method for reaching group agreement.
The final scale holds twenty-three items in four skill areas, checked with one hundred twenty nurses from three hospitals in Guizhou. Scores stayed steady when twenty-five nurses retook the scale after two weeks. Experienced nurses and higher-ranked nurses scored clearly higher, which supports the scale meaning. Wider testing across regions is still needed before the tool guides high-stakes decisions about staff.
