Background and Purpose: Nurses' self-confidence in handling acute patient deterioration events may influence decision-making capabilities and implementation of lifesaving interventions during such events. The study purpose is to provide further psychometric testing of the Clinical Decision-Making Self-Confidence Scale (CDMSCS).

Construct validity was further supported by statistically significant differences between registered nurses and nursing students' self-confidence level in handling deterioration events. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were acceptable for the subscales and instrument.
Conclusion: The CDMSCS is a valid and reliable instrument. …
