The aim of the study and the undertaken research is to adapt the CNPI-70tool to Polish conditions and then to use this scale for the evaluation of nursing students competencies.
Material and methods. A CNPI -70scale survey was conducted among486nursing students analyzing their self-assessment of caring competencies at various levels of university.
Results. The reliability of the scale is very high (Cronbach’s α is O,97), analyzing the70questions of the scale it can be concluded that all, except questions no5 and21,have an average or above average correlation with the result of the overall tool. The analysis also indicates that the removal of a single question from the tool does not affect its overall high reliability.
The results of the self-assessment of caring competencies among nursing students show an increase in competence at the successive levels of the university course. The level of competence is also influenced by the experience of part time students.
Conclusions. The Polish version of the CNPI-70scale, assessing the caring competence of nurses, takes into account the wide range of professional roles of nurses. Research confirms the high reliability of the scale thus recommending its use in research in nursing and education.
