Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo: realizar avaliações psicométricas da versão adaptada do Competence Evaluation Questionnaire para enfermeiros brasileiros no contexto hospitalar, avaliando a confiabilidade da estrutura interna desta versão. Método: trata-se de um estudo metodológico, no qual a amostra constituiu-se de 273 enfermeiros pertencentes a duas instituições hospitalares públicas. O instrumento é composto por 27 itens distribuídos em cinco domínios de competências. Para validade de constructo da versão adaptada do instrumento, verificou-se Alpha de Cronbach, Análise Fatorial Confirmatória e Exploratória e calculado novamente o Alpha de Cronbach dos domínios do instrumento, a fim de validar seu novo arranjo estrutural. Resultados: foi verificado Alpha de Cronbach total de 0,923 e por domínios variando de 0,397 (Gerenciamento) a 0,833 (Processo de enfermagem). Na análise fatorial foram encontrados valores de Índice de Ajuste Comparativo e Índice de Tucker-Lewis, respectivamente, 0,808 e 0,783, demonstrando valores aceitáveis e próximos do ideal. Na análise fatorial exploratória, o índice de Kaiser-Meyer-Okin foi de 0,918 e o teste de esfericidade de Bartlett teve valor p<0,00, ocorrendo uma nova disposição estrutural do instrumento que posteriormente se pode confirmar a consistência interna dos novos domínios variando de 0,732 a 0,845 e, portanto, todos os valores consistentes. Conclusão: a versão para o português brasileiro do Questionário de Avaliação de Competências ficou composta por 27 itens agrupados aos domínios a que pertencem obedecendo aos critérios da Análise Fatorial exploratória realizada, revelando-se instrumento adequado, válido e confiável.

In the hospital context, both hospital managers and nurses have focused on the theme of professional competence
As the central objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Questionário de Avaliação de Competências (QAC), it was applied in a sample of 273 nurses working in two hospitals, 244 (89.4%) of whom were women, the mean age being 38.06 years
This article presented the psychometric evaluation of the adapted Portuguese version called QAC, which aims to evaluate the competencies of nurses working in hospitals
Summary
Both hospital managers and nurses have focused on the theme of professional competence. The nurses take care of the most severe patients, sharing care and management activities[1] and needing specific skills in order to guarantee excellent care In this context, competences represent a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that each worker has and that serves as a reference to build their development in the company.[2] professional competencies involve these three axes, and knowledge is understood as what the professional knows; skills as know-how; and attitudes are defined as knowing how to act, judge, choose and decide in a specific situation.[3]. Competency-based performance evaluation is a personnel management strategy that can help to diagnose the workers’ potential and improve their performance. To this end, it is important for the adoption of technical-professional knowledge, and for the ability to mobilize individuals and the organization to face problems in daily work.[2]
