•Use of simulation to teach caring and family nursing is limited.•Research suggests that nurses lack confidence and competence in family care.•Nursing education fails to fully address family nursing practices.•Health care leaders are beginning to understand importance of family-focused care.•Rubric shows promise in teaching approaches to advance family nursing practice.
BackgroundVan Gelderen Family-Care Rubric (VGFCR) was constructed to enhance learning experiences and offer consistent feedback during simulations.MethodInstrument development and psychometric testing followed a three-phase design: (a) literature review, (b) refinement of family constructs, and (c) psychometric testing of the VGFCR.ResultsAll constructs exhibited significance at the p = .05 level. VGFCR was determined to be reliable with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.928 (0.902-0.948) with a significance of p = .000 at the 95% confidence interval and Cronbach's alpha = 0.956 among three family nurse researchers.ConclusionsFuture research recommendations include utilizing the rubric with practicing nurses to discern the transferability to clinical practice.
