The factors related to self-other agreement/disagreement in nursing competence assessment: Comparative and correlational study

While assessment made by nurses of themselves (self-assessment) and assessment made of them by others (other-assessment) provide unique and valuable information as to individual nurses ’ competence, the subjective nature of both assessments often causes a disagreement between them. This is problematic when educational interventions to foster nurses’ competence are designed. However, the question of what factors contribute to the self-other disagreement in competence assessment has rarely been investigated in nursing.
