Aim: This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test a competence‐based human resource management scale to improve managerial competence of first‐line nurse managers in public hospitals. Background: To ensure the high competence of the first‐line nurse managers, the competence‐based human resource management should be evaluated using the best‐fit instrument. However, no instrument has been identified in the hospital setting. Methods: This methodological study consists of three main steps: (1) generating scale items based on literature review and expert interviews, (2) pilot testing of face and content validity and (3) evaluating psychometric properties with 300 first‐line nurse managers from 16 public hospitals in Indonesia selected using a multistage sampling. Data were collected from May to December 2017. Principal component analysis and Cronbach's α were used for construct validity and internal consistency reliability. Results: The final scale consists of 30 items in five dimensions, which explained 65.48% of the total variance. The dimensions include 'training and evaluation, career planning and development, rewards scheme, recruitment and selection, and appraisal system'. Cronbach's α for the scale was.89, with a range of.85 to.88. Conclusion: The competence‐based human resource management scale is reliable and valid to use in public hospital settings. Summary statement: What is already known about this topic? The concept of competence‐based human resource management has been applied worldwide in every organization, and it is applicable to use for developing managerial competence of first‐line nurse managers. Therefore, the effectiveness of this management system should be assessed via a valid and reliable instrument.Several instruments to measure competence‐based human resource management have been developed, but no instrument has been identified to measure competence‐based human resource management specifically in hospital settings. What this paper adds? This study developed a scale designed to measure competence‐based human resource management to support improvement of first‐line nurse managers' managerial competence in public hospitals.The scale demonstrated sound psychometric properties with acceptable internal consistency reliability, content validity and construct validity.The scale consists of 30 items in five dimensions: training and evaluation, career planning and development, rewards scheme, recruitment and selection, and appraisal system. The implications of this paper: This study expands the basic knowledge of competence‐based human resource management as a concept with five dimensions that can be used in nursing organizations, and it can be used in quality assurance systems in public hospitals settings in Indonesia.The scale can be used as a feedback for first‐line nurse managers to see the impact of competence‐based human resource management framework on their competence and helps to identify which dimension of human resource management needs further improvement.With further research, the scale may be of use in other countries and settings.

Aim: This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of a four‐item patient health questionnaire as a psychological distress screening tool for patients with type 2 diabetes in Indonesia. Methods: This cross‐cultural adaptation study was applied in five public health‐care centres in Indonesia in August–October 2018 using a four‐item patient health questionnaire. The content, convergent and factorial validity were assessed, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was the reliability indicator. Results: A total of 147 participants were involved. Content validity resulted in acceptable outcomes (item and scale content validity indexes were 0.95 and 0.75, respectively). Anxiety and depression were associated with total score and psychological distress status (P < 0.001), supporting the convergent validity outcomes. Principal component analysis using varimax rotation revealed two factors, explaining 76.14% of variance (P < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficients for anxiety, depression and total score were 0.780, 0.500 and 0.713, respectively. Conclusions: The study demonstrated adequate validity and reliability for the Indonesian version of a four‐item patient health questionnaire among patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is applicable as a screening tool for psychological distress in this population. Summary statement: What is already known about this topic? Anxiety and depression are common forms of psychological distress among patients with type 2 diabetes.Early identification of potential problems in diabetes benefits patients for prevention and treatment.A four‐item patient health questionnaire (PHQ4) is a valid tool for screening psychological distress. What this paper adds? The paper presents a psychometric evaluation of PHQ4 to assess psychological distress among patients with type 2 diabetes.Incidence of anxiety, depression and psychological distress for patients with diabetes in Indonesia was identified. The implications of this paper: Diabetes nurse specialists or nurse managers could consider using the Indonesian version of PHQ4 in their units.The availability of this screening tool in Indonesia makes identification of psychological distress possible.Further research and education related to psychological distress among patients with diabetes may use the valid PHQ4.

Aim: The study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesian version. Background: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index has never been translated into Bahasa. Design This study employs a cross‐sectional and correlational study. Methods: Data were collected from 528 adolescents of junior high school age (13–16 years) during August to September 2014. All participants agreed on the Indonesian version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck Depression Inventory‐II. Psychometric properties were examined including internal consistency, construct validity and known group validity, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to measure the cut‐off point. Results: The Cronbach's alpha for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesian version was adequate. There were positive correlations between the total score and seven component scores. Construct validity revealed that the total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesian version was correlated with the total score of the Indonesian version of the Beck Depression Inventory‐II. Known group validity indicated that adolescents without depression risk had better sleep quality. According to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the cut‐off point at a score of 6.5 indicated the best possible relationship of sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesian version has high reliability and validity for screening sleep quality among adolescents. SUMMARY STATEMENT: What is already known about this topic? The original Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index has adequate internal consistency and favourable reliability.It is easy for patients and health‐care providers to use for interpreting sleep disturbances. What this paper adds? The results support the validity and reliability of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesia in screening sleep quality among adolescents.The cutoff score for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index‐Indonesian version for adolescents was 6.5. The implications of this paper: The cut‐off point could detect poor sleep quality among Indonesian adolescents.This simple tool is capable of quickly assessing sleep quality for health‐care providers.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of Medical Outcome Survey Short Form 12 version 2 (SF12v2). Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted in three primary healthcare units in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Patients with cardiovascular diseases who were able to respond to questionnaires and provide their consent were invited. The validity test included face, content, discriminant, and construct validity. The internal consistency was used as the reliability indicator. Results: The item and subscale of content validity index were 0.97 and 0.83, respectively. The instrument had 100% for equivalence and clarity outcomes, whereas the readability outcome was 91.7%. More than 80% of participants agreed and considered SF12v2 understandable. The correlations among physical and mental subscales were substantial, supporting discriminant validity. The Bartlett test of sphericity was significant with the Kaiser‐Meyer‐Olkin test of 0.74. The principal component analysis resulted in eight components, explaining 88.4% of total variance. α coefficients for subscale were ranging from.58 to.81, whereas the physical and mental component summaries were.77 and.67, respectively. Conclusions: The Indonesian version of SF12v2 indicated a reliable and valid instrument. The SF12v2, available in a Bahasa Indonesia version, is an applicable instrument to assess quality of life on patients with cardiovascular diseases. SUMMARY STATEMENT: What is already known about this topic? Quality of life plays an important role to evaluate the disease outcomes for patients with cardiovascular diseases.The translated version of the SF12v2 in Bahasa Indonesia is available, but there is no evidence of validity and reliability of the instruments. What this paper adds? This paper provides evidence of validity and reliability indicators for the Indonesian version of the SF12v2.The cross‐cultural adaptation process confirms that this is an unbiased and valid instrument. The implications of this paper: Nurses could apply the instrument to assess the quality of life among patients with cardiovascular diseases.Future studies concerning health‐related quality of life among the Indonesian population with cardiovascular diseases could be enhanced.
