Criteria for content validity was met for 34 items. An 18-item, three-factor solution was identified from exploratory factor analysis performed using Nursing Confidence in Managing Sedation Complications Scale scores from 228 nurses. Subscales accounted for 66% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha for the scale (0.95) and subscales was high (>0.85). There were differences (p < .001) in Nursing Confidence in Managing Sedation Complications Scale scores relative to years of experience and work environment. NC-MSCS scores increased significantly from before to after sedation training (mean difference = 31.8; 95% CI = 24.4-39; N = 31).
